EXPLANATORY NOTE REGARDING RECENT CHANGES TO THE REPORTING
STRUCTURE OF OUR BUSINESS

Prior to the third
quarter of 2009, the reporting structure for our financial results consisted of three segments (the Prior Segments): Communication Services, Conferencing Services and Receivables Management.

During the third quarter of 2009, we implemented certain
organizational changes and our Chief Executive Officer began making strategic and operating decisions with respect to assessing performance and allocating resources based on a new segment structure. We now operate in two business segments (the
Current Segments):



Unified Communications, including reservationless, operator-assisted, web and video conferencing services and alerts and notifications services; and

Consistent with this approach,
the receivables management business (formerly reported as a separate segment) is now part of the Communication Services segment, and the newly named Unified Communications segment is composed of the alerts and notifications business (formerly
managed under the Communications Services segment) and the conferencing and collaboration business. The revised organizational structure more closely aligns the resources used by the businesses in each segment. In this prospectus, results of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, and the associated Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, are presented using the Prior Segments. Supplemental disclosure is also provided within Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations using the Current Segments.
See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsExplanatory Note Regarding Recent Changes to the Reporting Structure of Our Business elsewhere in this prospectus for additional
information.

This summary highlights selected information about us and
this offering. This summary may not contain all of the information that you should consider before making an investment decision. You should read carefully the more detailed information set forth under Risk Factors and the other
information included in this prospectus. Except where the context suggests otherwise, the terms company, we, us and our refer to West Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. Unless indicated
otherwise, the information in this prospectus assumes the common stock to be sold in this offering is to be sold at $ per share and no exercise by the underwriters of their
option to purchase additional shares.

We
refer to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in various places in this prospectus. The definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income is set forth in note 3 to Prospectus
SummarySummary Consolidated Financial Data.

Our Company

We are a leading
provider of technology-driven, voice-oriented solutions. We offer our clients a broad range of communications and infrastructure management solutions that help them manage or support critical communications. The scale and processing capacity of our
proprietary technology platforms, combined with our world-class expertise and processes in managing telephony and human capital, enable us to provide our clients with premium outsourced communications solutions. Our automated service and
conferencing solutions are designed to improve our clients cost structure and provide reliable, high-quality services. Our solutions also help deliver mission-critical services, such as public safety and emergency communications. We serve
Fortune 1000 companies and other clients in a variety of industries, including telecommunications, banking, retail, financial services, technology and healthcare, and have sales and operations in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East,
Asia Pacific and Latin America.

Since our
founding in 1986, we have invested significantly to expand our technology platforms and develop our operational processes to meet the complex communication needs of our clients. We have evolved into a predominantly automated processor of
voice-oriented transactions and a provider of network infrastructure solutions for the communications needs of our clients. In 2008, we grew revenue by 7.0% over 2007 to $2,247.4 million and generated $633.6 million in adjusted EBITDA, or 28.2%
margins, and $19.5 million in net income. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we grew revenue by 12.7% over the comparable period in 2008 to $1,213.9 million and generated $330.2 million in adjusted EBITDA, or 27.2% margins, and $57.1
million in net income. See Summary Consolidated Financial Data.

Investing in technology and developing specialized expertise in the industries we serve are critical components to our strategy of enhancing our services and delivering operational excellence. In 2008, we
managed over 16.5 billion telephony minutes and over 61 million conference calls, facilitated over 240 million 9-1-1 calls, and delivered over 307 million notification calls and 60 million data messages. With approximately 500,000
telephony ports to handle conference calls, alerts and notifications and customer service, we believe our platforms provide scale and flexibility to handle greater transaction volume than our competitors, offer superior service and develop new
offerings. These ports include approximately 150,000 Internet Protocol (IP) ports, which we believe provide us with the only large-scale proprietary IP-based global conferencing platform deployed and in use today. Our technology-driven
platforms allow us to provide a broad range of complementary automated and agent-based service offerings to our diverse client base.

We have built our reputation as a best-in-class service
provider over the past 23 years by delivering differentiated, high-quality solutions for our clients. Our portfolio of technology-driven, voice-oriented solutions includes:

Unified Communications



Conferencing & Collaboration Services.
Operating under the InterCall brand, we are the largest conferencing services provider in
the world based on conferencing revenue and managed over 61 million conference calls in 2008. We provide our clients with an integrated global suite of meeting replacement services. These include on-demand automated conferencing services,
operator-assisted services for complex audio conferences or large events, web conferencing services that allow clients to make presentations and share applications and documents over the Internet, and video conferencing applications that allow
clients to experience real-time video presentations and conferences.

Emergency Communications Services.
We are the largest provider of emergency communications infrastructure systems and services that
support regulatory compliance and public safety mandates. Our solutions are critical in facilitating public safety agencies ability to coordinate responses to emergency events. We provide the network database solution that routes emergency
calls to the appropriate 9-1-1 centers and allows the appropriate first responders (police, fire, ambulance) to be assigned to those calls. Our clients generally enter into long-term contracts and fund their obligations through monthly charges on
users local telephone bills. We also provide fully-integrated desktop communications technology solutions to public safety agencies that enable enhanced 9-1-1 call handling.



Automated Customer Service.
Over the last 20 years we have developed a best-in-class suite of automated voice-oriented solutions. Our
solutions allow our clients to effectively communicate with their customers through inbound and outbound interactive voice response (IVR) applications using natural language speech recognition, automated voice prompts and network-based call routing
services. In addition to these front-end customer service applications, we also provide analyses that help our clients improve their automated communications strategy. Our automated services technology platforms serve as the backbone of our
telephony management capabilities and our scale and operational flexibility have helped us launch and grow other key services, such as conferencing, alerts and notifications and West at Home.



Agent-Based Services.
We provide our clients with large-scale, agent-based services, including inbound customer care, customer
acquisition and retention, business-to-business sales and account management, overpayment identification and recovery services, and receivables management solutions. We have a flexible model with both on-shore and off-shore capabilities to fit our
clients needs. We believe that we are known in the industry as a premium provider of these services, and we seek opportunities with clients for whom our services can add value while maintaining attractive margins for us. Our West at Home agent
service is a remote call handling model that uses employees who work out of their homes. We were one of the first providers to offer this service, which represents a distinct advantage over traditional facility-based call center solutions by
attracting higher quality agents. This model helps enhance our cost structure and significantly reduces our capital requirements.

Market Opportunity

Over the past 23 years, we have focused on leveraging our strengths in voice-oriented markets to serve the increasingly complex
communications needs of our target client base. The global customer care business process outsourcing (BPO) market was estimated to be approximately $59 billion in 2008 with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
through 2013 of over 9% according to IDC. In this market, we target opportunities where we can operate with a sustained competitive advantage and drive the highest levels of profitability. We have built on our position in this market by investing in
emerging service delivery models with attractive end-market growth characteristics, such as West at Home customer care, that provide a higher quality of service to our clients. We are one of the largest providers of this home-based model, having
invested in this market early as client adoption began to accelerate. According to DataMonitor, the global agent base for providing home-based services is expected to grow at a 33% CAGR through 2012.

Our investment strategy has evolved over the years as we have
targeted new and complementary markets that not only leverage our depth of expertise in voice-oriented solutions but also deliver value through less labor-

intensive areas such as conferencing and collaboration, emergency communications and alerts and notifications services. Consistent with this strategy, we entered the conferencing and
collaboration services market with our acquisition of InterCall in 2003. Through organic growth and multiple strategic acquisitions, we have built on our initial success with our InterCall brand to become the leading global provider of conferencing
services in 2008 based on revenue, according to Wainhouse Research.

The global market for unified communications services was $5.6 billion in 2008 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.9% through 2013 according to Wainhouse Research. We believe this growth is being
driven by a number of factors, including increased globalization of business activity, focus on lower costs, increased adoption of conferencing and collaboration services and increasing awareness of the need for rapid communication during
emergencies. By leveraging our global sales team and diversified client base, we intend to continue targeting higher growth, underserved markets.

The emergency communications infrastructure services market represents a complementary opportunity that allows us to diversify into
end-markets that are less susceptible to downturns in the economy. According to Compass Intelligence, approximately $3.3 billion of government-sponsored funds are estimated to be available for 9-1-1 software, hardware and systems expenditures in
2009 and such funds are expected to grow at a 7% CAGR through 2013.

Business Evolution Since the Recapitalization

Over the past several years, we have expanded our capabilities and repositioned our business to meet the growing needs of our clients, addressing attractive new markets with strong demand characteristics
and growth profiles. Our evolution during this time frame has resulted in a meaningful shift of our business mix towards a higher growth, higher margin automated processing model. As we continue to increase the level of automated services we
provide, we intend to pursue opportunities in markets where we have industry expertise and clients place a premium on the quality of service provided. Since 2005, we have invested approximately $1.6 billion in strategic acquisitions of value-added
service providers, including approximately $800 million since our recapitalization in 2006. We have increased our penetration into higher growth international conferencing markets, strengthened our alerts and notifications services business and
established a leadership position in emergency communication infrastructure management services. We have also meaningfully reoriented our business to address the emergence of unified communication products, a fast-growing demand trend. The following
summaries further highlight the steps we have taken to improve our business:



Evolved into a Predominantly Automated Solutions Business.
We have continued our evolution into a diversified and automated technology-driven
service provider. Our revenue from automated services businesses grew from 37% of total revenue in 2005 to 62% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, and our operating income from automated services businesses grew from 53% of total operating
income to 86% over the same period. This shift in business mix towards higher growth and higher margin automated processing businesses has driven our adjusted EBITDA margin from 25% in 2005 to 27% for the six months ended June 30, 2009.



Expanded Emergency Communications Services.
In early 2006, we acquired Intrado and, in 2008, we acquired HBF Communications and Positron Public
Safety Systems to become the leading provider of 9-1-1 and emergency communications infrastructure services to telecommunications service providers, government agencies and public safety organizations. To complement these acquisitions, we have
steadily increased our presence in this market through substantial investments in proprietary systems to develop IP-based emergency communications services capabilities. This business is characterized by long-term client contracts.



Expanded Conferencing Presence.
Through both organic growth and acquisitions, we have been successful in expanding the reach of our conferencing
services both domestically and internationally.

Our conferencing services volume has grown from approximately 21 million calls in 2006 to over 61 million calls in 2008. In addition, we increased our worldwide presence in this market by
acquiring Genesys, a global conferencing services provider, in May 2008 and we are now the largest conferencing services provider in the world based on conferencing revenue.



Strengthened Alerts and Notifications Business.
In 2007, we increased our presence in the high growth, high margin alerts and notifications
business through the acquisitions of CenterPost Communications and TeleVox. We now provide automated communication solutions across more industries, including financial services, communications, transportation and pharmacy. TeleVox delivers patient
notifications to a diverse base of clients in the medical and dental markets as well as certain other commercial clients such as regional utilities and credit unions.



Revised Our Organizational Structure.
During the third quarter of 2009, we began operating in two segments, Unified Communications and
Communication Services. We moved our alerts and notifications division from the Communication Services segment into the Unified Communications segment to leverage the sales channel and product distribution expertise developed in the conferencing and
collaboration business, including the management of a field sales force and the acquisition of customers over the Internet, to facilitate growth. The receivables management division is now part of the Communication Services segment, which is
expected to continue to facilitate the use of a common sales force and shared contact center infrastructure to better coordinate agent and workstation productivity and more cost-effectively allocate resources. This revised organizational structure
is intended to more closely align each business line with the allocation of resources by our management team and more closely reflects how we manage our business.

Our Competitive Strengths

We have developed operational and market expertise to serve the needs of clients who place a premium on the services we provide. We believe
the following strengths have helped us to establish a leading competitive position in the markets we serve.



Proven Business Model Built Over Decades.
We have built a strong and stable business model that has delivered a 33% revenue CAGR since our
inception in 1986. We have helped our clients communicate more effectively with their customers by processing billions of minutes of their voice-oriented transactions over the past 23 years. As a result of our longstanding history in our markets and
significant investment in our businesses, we have accumulated substantial operating and management experience through various economic cycles. As demand for outsourced solutions grows with greater adoption of our technologies and services and the
global trend towards business process outsourcing, we believe our long history of delivering results for our clients combined with our scale provide us with a significant competitive advantage.



Broad Portfolio of Product Offerings with Attractive Value Proposition.
Our technology-driven platforms combined with our operational expertise
and processes allow us to provide a broad range of complementary automated and agent-based service offerings that help establish deep relationships with our clients. Our ability to efficiently and cost-effectively process high volume, complex
transactions for our clients facilitates their critical communications and helps improve their cost structure.



Scalable Operating Model.
We have developed integrated proprietary platforms that we believe form one of the largest multi-carrier,
multi-protocol secure managed networks. By allowing us to focus our research and development efforts on new services for multiple transaction types, our highly scalable operating model enables us to enhance our value proposition to clients and
achieve greater efficiencies and returns from our infrastructure and invested capital. We also benefit from our ability to use our infrastructure and human capital across our business lines providing for the most efficient and

opportunistic use of resources. We believe our shared operating model provides us with highly flexible and capital-efficient operations, which have been a critical factor in driving our
performance and financial results.



Strong, Recurring Client Relationships and Transactions.
Many leading corporations look to us to manage their most important communications and
voice-oriented transactions. We help our clients maximize the value of their customer relationships and derive greater value from each transaction that we process. The nature of our deep strategic and operational partnerships with our clients has
allowed us to build long-lasting relationships with clients who operate in a broad range of industries, including telecommunications, banking, retail, financial services, technology and healthcare. Our top ten clients during the six months ended
June 30, 2009 have an average tenure of approximately ten years. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, our 100 largest clients represented approximately 55% of our revenue. In addition, our clients often buy multiple services from us, with
approximately 46% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 coming from clients purchasing multiple service offerings.



Large-Scale, Technology-Driven Platforms.
We leverage our strengths in technology, telephony and human capital management to process
voice-oriented transactions for our clients. In 2008, for example, we managed and processed more than 16.5 billion telephony minutes across our platforms, more than 61 million conference calls, more than 240 million 9-1-1 calls, and delivered over
307 million voice and notification calls and 60 million data messages. In addition, with approximately 500,000 telephony ports to handle conference calls, alerts and notifications and customer service, our platforms provide scale and flexibility to
handle greater transaction volume than our competitors, offer superior service and develop new offerings. These ports include approximately 150,000 IP ports, which we believe provide us with the only large-scale proprietary IP-based global
conferencing platform deployed and in use today.



Experienced Management Team.
Our senior leadership has an average tenure of 11 years with us and has delivered strong results through various
market cycles, both as a public and as a private company. As a group, this team has created a culture of superior client service and has been able to achieve a 17% revenue CAGR over the past ten years. We also have established a long track record of
successfully acquiring and integrating companies to drive growth and margin expansion.

Our Growth Strategy

Our strategy is to identify growing markets where we can deploy our existing assets and expertise to strengthen our competitive position. Our strategy is supported by our commitment to superior client
service, operational excellence and technological and market leadership. Key aspects of our strategy include the following:

Drive Revenue and Profit Opportunities



Expand Relationships with Existing Clients
. We are focused on deepening and expanding relationships with our existing clients by delivering
value in the form of reduced costs, improved customer relationships and enhanced revenue opportunities. Approximately 46% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 came from clients purchasing multiple service offerings from us. As
we demonstrate the value that our services provide, often starting with a discrete service, we are frequently able to expand the size and scope of our client relationships.



Develop New Client Relationships.
In addition to expanding and enhancing our existing relationships, we will pursue new client opportunities. We
will continue to focus on building long-term client relationships across a wide range of industries and geographies to further diversify our revenue base. We target clients in industries in which we have expertise or other competitive advantages and
an

ability to deliver a wide range of solutions that have a meaningful impact on their business. For example, our acquisition of Genesys in 2008 combined with our expertise in conferencing and
collaboration services has allowed us to penetrate substantial new international markets. By continuing to add long-term client relationships in large and growing markets, we believe we enhance the stability and growth potential of our revenue base.

Enhance Utilization of
Deployed Assets



Continue to Enhance Leading Technology Capabilities.
We believe our service offerings are enhanced by our superior technology capabilities and
track record of innovation. We have approximately 300 pending patent applications for technology and processes that we have developed. Many of our advances in technology and new uses for our platforms have been achieved in close partnership with our
clients, and we will continue to target technology-driven solutions that enable our clients to realize significant benefits. In addition to strengthening our client relationships, we believe our focus on technology facilitates our ongoing evolution
towards a diversified, predominantly automated and technology-driven operating model.



Continue to Deliver Operational Excellence.
We intend to continue to increase productivity and performance for our clients by leveraging our
expertise in technology and telephony to efficiently process voice-oriented transactions. Our ability to provide improvements in processes is an important aspect of our value proposition to clients, and we will continue to leverage our proprietary
technology infrastructure and shared services platform to manage higher value transactions and achieve cost savings for our clients and ourselves. In addition, we intend to continue to focus our efforts and expenditures in areas that we believe
provide the greatest opportunity for profit enhancement.

Pursue Attractive Markets and Services



Target Growth Opportunities.
We will continue to seek opportunities to expand our capabilities across industries and service offerings. We
expect this will occur through a combination of organic growth, as well as strategic partnerships, alliances and acquisitions to expand into new service offerings as well as into new industries. Since 2005, we have invested approximately $1.6
billion in strategic acquisitions. We believe there are acquisition candidates that will enable us to expand our capabilities and markets and intend to continue to evaluate acquisitions in a disciplined manner and pursue those that provide
attractive opportunities to enhance our growth and profitability.

Risk Factors

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, as more fully described under Risk Factors beginning on page 13, which you should carefully consider prior to deciding whether to
invest in our common stock. For example,

a large portion of our revenue is generated from a limited number of clients, and the loss of one or more key clients would result in the loss of
revenue; and



increases in the cost of voice and data services or significant interruptions in these services could adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

Corporate Information

We are a
Delaware corporation that was founded in 1986. On October 24, 2006, we completed a recapitalization (the recapitalization) of the company in a transaction sponsored by an investor group led by Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. and
Quadrangle Group LLC (the Sponsors). Pursuant to the recapitalization, our then existing publicly traded securities were cancelled in exchange for cash.

Our principal executive offices are located at 11808 Miracle Hills Drive, Omaha, Nebraska 68154 and our
telephone number at that address is (402) 963-1200. Our website address is
www.west.com.
None of the information on our website or any other website identified herein is part of this prospectus. All website addresses in this prospectus
are intended to be inactive textual references only.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay indebtedness, to fund amounts payable to the Sponsors upon the termination of our management agreement and for working capital and
other general corporate purposes. See Use of Proceeds.

We will not receive any proceeds from the shares sold by the selling stockholders.

Risk factors

You should read carefully the Risk Factors section of this prospectus for a discussion of factors that you should consider before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock.

Proposed symbol

The number of shares of our common
stock to be outstanding following this offering is based on shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2009, but excludes:



shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options outstanding as of
June 30, 2009 at a weighted average exercise price of $ per share;



shares of common stock reserved as of June 30, 2009 for future issuance
under our Stock Plan; and



shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our stock-based
compensation plans, including shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our Equity Incentive
Plan, which will become effective on the date of this prospectus.

Unless otherwise indicated, this prospectus reflects and assumes the following:



assuming an initial public offering price of $ per share, the mid-point of the
range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the conversion of all outstanding shares of our Class A common stock and Class L common stock into shares of our
common stock in connection with this offering (the Common Stock Conversion); and



no exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase up to additional
shares.

The following tables summarize the
consolidated financial data for our business as of the dates and for the periods presented. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. You should read this summary consolidated financial data in conjunction
with the sections titled Selected Consolidated Financial Data and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, all
included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Includes stock-based compensation of $28.7 million, $1.3 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and $0.7 million
and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

(2)

Represents earnings per common share after giving effect to the Common Stock Conversion.

(3)

The term EBITDA refers to earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and the term Adjusted EBITDA refers to
earnings before interest expense, share based compensation, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring litigation settlement costs, impairments and other non-cash reserves, transaction costs and after-acquisition synergies. We present
Adjusted EBITDA because our management team uses it as an important supplemental measure in evaluating our operating performance and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of
companies in our industry. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure in assessing compliance with our senior credit facilities and for calculations required to be made under the indentures governing our outstanding notes. See Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital ResourcesDebt Covenants. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it provides important insight into our
profitability trends and allows management and investors to analyze operating results with and without the impact of certain non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and impairments and other non-cash
reserves, as well as certain litigation settlement and transaction costs and after-acquisition synergies. Although we use Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the performance of our business, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial
performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the use of Adjusted EBITDA is limited because it does not include certain material costs, such as depreciation, amortization and interest, necessary to
operate our business. In addition, as disclosed below, certain adjustments included in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA are based on managements estimates and do not reflect actual results. While we use net income as a measure of
performance, we also believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when presented along with net income, provides balanced disclosure which, for the reasons set forth above, is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance and profitability. Adjusted
EBITDA included in this prospectus should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income (loss) as calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures of other companies. Set forth below is a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income.

Represents, for each period presented, unrealized synergies for acquisitions, consisting primarily of headcount reductions and telephony-related savings, direct
acquisition expenses, transaction costs incurred with the recapitalization and the exclusion of the negative EBITDA in one acquired entity, which was an unrestricted subsidiary under the indentures governing our outstanding notes. Amounts shown are
permitted to be added to EBITDA for purposes of calculating our compliance with certain covenants under our credit facility and the indentures governing our outstanding notes.

(c)

Represents non-cash portfolio receivable allowances.

(d)

Represents site closures and other asset impairments.

(e)

Represents the unrealized loss on foreign denominated debt and the loss on transactions with affiliates denominated in foreign currencies.

Represents interest incurred on a synthetic building lease, which was purchased in September 2006.

(h)

Adjusted EBITDA does not include pro forma adjustments for acquired entities of $49.1 million in 2008 and $9.1 million in 2007 as is permitted in the debt covenants.
Pro forma adjustments for acquired entities for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $5.1 million and $54.5 million, respectively.

(4)

Represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

(5)

Long-term debt, net of current position is equal to total debt less portfolio notes payable and current portion of long-term debt.

(6)

The pro forma as adjusted column in the consolidated balance sheet data table reflects the pro forma effect of the Common Stock Conversion. The pro forma as adjusted
column gives further effect to the sale of shares of common stock in this offering, at an assumed initial public offering price of $
per share, the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses
payable by us and the application of our net proceeds from this offering.

Investing in our common stock involves substantial risks. In
addition to the other information in this prospectus, you should carefully consider the following factors before investing in our common stock. Any of the risk factors we describe below could adversely affect our business, financial condition or
results of operations. The market price of our common stock could decline if one or more of these risks and uncertainties actually occurs, causing you to lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our shares. While we believe these risks and
uncertainties are most important for you to consider, we may face other risks or uncertainties which may adversely affect our business. Certain statements in Risk Factors are forward-looking statements. See Special Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements elsewhere in this prospectus.

Recent global economic conditions, including disruption of financial markets, could adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition, primarily through disrupting our clients businesses. Higher rates of unemployment and lower levels of business generally adversely affect the level of demand for certain of our services.
In addition, continuation or worsening of general market conditions in the United States economy or other national economies important to our businesses may adversely affect our clients level of spending, ability to obtain financing for
purchases and ability to make timely payments to us for our services, which could require us to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts, negatively impact our days sales outstanding and adversely affect our results of operations.

We may not be able to compete successfully in our highly competitive
industries, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We face significant competition in many of the markets in which we do business and expect that this competition will intensify. The principal
competitive factors in our business are range of service offerings, global capabilities and price and quality of services. In addition, we believe there has been an industry trend to move agent-based operations toward offshore sites. This movement
could result in excess capacity in the United States, where most of our current capacity exists. The trend toward international expansion by foreign and domestic competitors and continuous technological changes may erode profits by bringing new
competitors into our markets and reducing prices. Our competitors products, services and pricing practices, as well as the timing and circumstances of the entry of additional competitors into our markets, could adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition.

Our Unified Communications segment faces technological advances and consolidation, which have contributed to pricing pressures. Competition in the web and video conferencing services arenas continues to increase as new vendors enter the
marketplace and offer a broader range of conferencing solutions through new technologies, including, without limitation, Voice over Internet Protocol, on-premise solutions, private branch exchange (PBX) solutions, unified communications
solutions and equipment and handset solutions.

Our Communication Services segments agent-based business and growth depend in large part on the industry trend toward outsourcing. This trend may not continue, or may continue at a slower pace, as organizations may elect to perform
these services themselves. In addition, our Communication Services segment faces risks from technological advances that we may not be able to successfully address. We compete with third-party collection agencies, other financial service companies
and credit originators. Some of these companies have substantially greater personnel and financial resources than we do. In addition, companies with greater financial resources than we have may elect in the future to enter the consumer debt
collection business.

There are services in each of our business segments that are experiencing pricing declines.
If we are unable to offset pricing declines through increased transaction volume and greater efficiency, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our business depends on our ability to keep pace with our clients
needs for rapid technological change and systems availability.

Technology is a critical component of our business. We have invested in sophisticated and specialized computer and telephone technology and we anticipate that it will be necessary for us to continue to
select, invest in and develop new and enhanced technology on a timely basis in the future in order to remain competitive. Our future success depends in part on our ability to continue to develop technology solutions that keep pace with evolving
industry standards and changing client demands. Introduction of new methods and technologies brings corresponding risks associated with effecting change to a complex operating environment and, in the case of adding third party services, results in a
dependency on an outside technology provider.

A large
portion of our revenue is generated from a limited number of clients, and the loss of one or more key clients would result in the loss of revenue.

Our 100 largest clients represented approximately 56% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 with one client,
AT&T, accounting for approximately 13% of our total revenue. Subject to advance notice requirements and a specified wind down of purchases, AT&T may terminate certain of its contracts with us with or without cause at any time. If we fail to
retain a significant amount of business from AT&T or any of our other significant clients, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We serve clients and industries that have experienced a significant level of consolidation in recent years.
Additional consolidation could occur in which our clients could be acquired by companies that do not use our services. The loss of any significant client would result in a decrease in our revenue and could adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

Our contracts generally
are not exclusive and typically do not provide for revenue commitments.

Contracts for many of our services generally enable our clients to unilaterally terminate the contract or reduce transaction volumes upon written notice and without penalty, in many cases based on our
failure to attain certain service performance levels. The terms of these contracts are often also subject to renegotiation at any time. In addition, most of our contracts are not exclusive and do not ensure that we will generate a minimum level of
revenue. Many of our clients also retain multiple service providers with whom we must compete. As a result, the profitability of each client program may fluctuate, sometimes significantly, throughout the various stages of a program.

Increases in the cost of voice and data services or significant
interruptions in these services could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We depend on voice and data services provided by various telecommunications providers. Because of this dependence, any change to the
telecommunications market that would disrupt these services or limit our ability to obtain services at favorable rates could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. While we have entered into long-term contracts
with many of our telecommunications providers, there is no obligation for these vendors to renew their contracts with us or to offer the same or lower rates in the future. In addition, these contracts are subject to termination or modification for
various reasons outside of our control. An adverse change in the pricing of voice and data services that we are unable to recover through price increases of our services, or any significant interruption in voice or data services, could adversely
affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Pending and future litigation may divert managements time and attention and result in
substantial costs of defense, damages or settlement, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We face uncertainties relating to the pending litigation described in BusinessLegal Proceedings and we may not ultimately
prevail or otherwise be able to satisfactorily resolve this litigation. In addition, other material suits by individuals or certified classes, claims, or investigations relating to the same or similar matters as those described in this prospectus or
other aspects of our business, including our obligations to market additional products to our clients customers may arise in the future. Furthermore, we generally indemnify our clients against third-party claims asserting intellectual property
violations, which may result in litigation. Regardless of the outcome of any of these lawsuits or any future actions, claims or investigations relating to the same or any other subject matter, we may incur substantial defense costs and these actions
may cause a diversion of managements time and attention. Also, we may be required to alter our business practices or pay substantial damages or settlement costs as a result of these proceedings, which could adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition. Finally, certain of the outcomes of such litigation may directly affect our business model, and thus our profitability.

We are subject to extensive regulation, which could limit or restrict our activities and impose financial requirements or
limitations on the conduct of our business.

The United States Congress, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the states and foreign jurisdictions where we provide services have promulgated and enacted rules and laws that govern personal privacy, telephone
solicitations, the sale and collection of consumer debt, the provision of emergency communication services and data privacy. As a result, we may be subject to proceedings alleging violation of these rules and laws in the future. Additional rules and
laws may require us to modify our operations or service offerings in order to meet our clients service requirements effectively, and these regulations may limit our activities or significantly increase the cost of regulatory compliance.

There are numerous state statutes and regulations
governing telemarketing activities that do or may apply to us. For example, some states place restrictions on the methods and timing of telemarketing calls and require that certain mandatory disclosures be made during the course of a telemarketing
call. Some states also require that telemarketers register in the state before conducting telemarketing business in the state. Such registration can be time consuming and costly. We specifically train our marketing representatives to handle calls in
an approved manner. While we believe we are in compliance in all material respects with all federal and state telemarketing regulations, compliance with all such requirements is costly and time consuming. In addition, notwithstanding our compliance
efforts, any failure on our part to comply with the registration and other legal requirements applicable to companies engaged in telemarketing activities could have an adverse impact on our business. We could become subject to litigation by private
parties and governmental bodies alleging a violation of applicable laws or regulations, which could result in damages, regulatory fines, penalties and possible other relief under such laws and regulations and the accompanying costs and uncertainties
of such litigation and enforcement actions.

Security and
privacy breaches of the systems we use to protect personal data could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our databases contain personal data of our clients customers, including credit card and healthcare information. Any security or privacy
breach of these databases could expose us to liability, increase our expenses relating to the resolution of these breaches and deter our clients from selecting our services. Migration by our emergency communications business to IP-based
communication increases this risk. Our data security procedures may not effectively counter evolving security risks, address the security and privacy concerns of existing or potential clients or be compliant with federal, state, and local laws and
regulations in all respects. For our international operations, we are obligated to implement processes and procedures to comply with local data privacy regulations. Any failures in our security and privacy measures could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to adequately protect our proprietary information or technology.

Our success depends in part upon our
proprietary information and technology. We rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as on confidentiality procedures and non-compete agreements, to establish and protect our proprietary rights in each of
our segments. Third parties may infringe or misappropriate our patents, trademarks, trade names, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, and
litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets or determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The steps we have taken to deter misappropriation of our proprietary
information and technology or client data may be insufficient to protect us, and we may be unable to prevent infringement of our intellectual property rights or misappropriation of our proprietary information. Any infringement or misappropriation
could harm any competitive advantage we currently derive or may derive from our proprietary rights. In addition, because we operate in many foreign jurisdictions, we may not be able to protect our intellectual property in the foreign jurisdictions
in which we operate.

Our technology and services may
infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. Intellectual property infringement claims would be time consuming and expensive to defend and may result in limitations on our ability to use the intellectual property subject to these
claims.

Third parties have asserted in
the past and may assert claims against us in the future alleging that we are violating or infringing upon their intellectual property rights. Any claims and any resulting litigation could subject us to significant liability for damages. An adverse
determination in any litigation of this type could require us to design around a third partys patent, license alternative technology from another party or reduce or modify our product and service offerings. In addition, litigation is
time-consuming and expensive to defend and could result in the diversion of our time and resources. Any claims from third parties may also result in limitations on our ability to use the intellectual property subject to these claims.

Our data and operation centers are exposed to service interruption, which
could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our outsourcing operations depend on our ability to protect our data and operation centers against damage that may be caused by fire, natural disasters, pandemics (including H1N1 flu), power failure,
telecommunications failures, computer viruses, trojan horses, other malware, failures of our software, acts of sabotage or terrorism, riots and other emergencies. In addition, for some of our services, we are dependent on outside vendors and
suppliers who may be similarly affected. In the past, natural disasters such as hurricanes have caused significant employee dislocation and turnover in the areas impacted. If we experience temporary or permanent employee dislocation or interruption
at one or more of our data or operation centers through casualty, operating malfunction, data loss, system failure or other events, we may be unable to provide the services we are contractually obligated to deliver. As a result, we may experience a
reduction in revenue or be required to pay contractual damages to some clients or allow some clients to terminate or renegotiate their contracts. Failure of our infrastructure due to the occurrence of a single event may have a disproportionately
large impact on our business results. Any interruptions of this type could result in a prolonged interruption in our ability to provide our services to our clients, and our business interruption and property insurance may not adequately compensate
us for any losses we may incur. These interruptions could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our future success depends on our ability to retain key personnel. Our inability to continue to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified
employees could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our future success depends on the experience and continuing efforts and abilities of our management team and on the management teams of our
operating subsidiaries. The loss of the services of one or more of these key employees could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. A large portion of

our operations also require specially trained employees. From time to time, we must recruit and train qualified personnel at an accelerated rate in order to keep pace with our clients
demands and our resulting need for specially trained employees. If we are unable to continue to hire, train and retain a sufficient labor force of qualified employees, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely
affected.

Portions of our Communication Services segments agent-based services are very labor intensive and experience high personnel turnover. Significant increases in the employee turnover rate could
increase recruiting and training costs and decrease operating effectiveness and productivity. Moreover, many of our employees are hired on a part-time basis, and a significant portion of our costs consists of wages to hourly workers. In July 2009,
the federal minimum wage rate increased to $7.25 per hour. Further increases in the minimum wage or labor regulation could increase our labor costs.
The introduction of any federal or state requirements relating to mandatory minimum health
insurance coverage for employees could also increase our labor costs. Increases in our labor costs, costs of employee benefits or employment taxes could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Because we have operations in countries outside of the United States, we
may be subject to political, economic and other conditions affecting these countries that could result in increased operating expenses and regulation.

We operate or rely upon businesses in numerous countries outside the United States. We may expand further into additional countries and
regions. There are risks inherent in conducting business internationally, including the following:



difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;



accounting (including managing internal control over financial reporting in our non-U.S. subsidiaries), tax and legal complexities arising from
international operations;



burdensome regulatory requirements and unexpected changes in these requirements, including data protection requirements;



data privacy laws that may apply to the transmission of our clients and employees data to the U.S.;



localization of our services, including translation into foreign languages and associated expenses;

potential difficulties in transferring funds generated overseas to the U.S. in a tax efficient manner;



seasonal reductions in business activity during the summer months in Europe and other parts of the world;



differences between the rules and procedures associated with handling emergency communications in the United States and those related to IP emergency
communications originated outside of the United States; and



potentially adverse tax consequences.

If we cannot manage our international operations successfully, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely
affected.

We conduct
business in countries outside of the United States. Revenue and expense from our foreign operations are typically denominated in local currencies, thereby creating exposure to changes in exchange rates. Revenue and profit generated by our
international operations will increase or decrease compared to prior periods as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Adverse changes to foreign exchange rates could decrease the value of revenue we receive from our international
operations and have a material adverse impact on our business. Generally, we do not attempt to hedge our foreign currency transactions.

If we are unable to complete future acquisitions, our business strategy and earnings may be negatively affected.

Our ability to identify and take advantage of attractive
acquisitions or other business development opportunities is an important component in implementing our overall business strategy. We may be unable to identify, finance or complete acquisitions or to do so at attractive valuations. Given the current
illiquid capital markets, we may not be able to borrow sufficient additional funds, which may adversely affect our acquisition strategy.

If we are unable to integrate or achieve the objectives of our recent and future acquisitions, our overall business may suffer.

Our business strategy depends on successfully integrating the
assets, operations and corporate functions of businesses we have acquired and any additional businesses we may acquire in the future. The acquisition of additional businesses involves integration risks, including:



the diversion of managements time and attention away from operating our business to acquisition and integration challenges;



the unanticipated loss of key employees of the acquired businesses;



the potential need to implement or remediate controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a larger company at businesses that prior to the
acquisition lacked these controls, procedures and policies;



the need to integrate accounting, information management, human resources, contract and intellectual property management and other administrative
systems at each business to permit effective management; and



our entry into markets or geographic areas where we may have limited or no experience.

We may be unable to effectively or efficiently integrate
businesses we have acquired or may acquire in the future without encountering the difficulties described above. Failure to integrate these businesses effectively could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition to this integration risk, our
business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected if we are unable to achieve the planned objectives of an acquisition. The inability to achieve our planned objectives could result from:



the financial underperformance of these acquisitions;



the loss of key clients of the acquired business, which may drive financial underperformance; and



the occurrence of unanticipated liabilities or contingencies for which we are unable to receive indemnification from the prior owner of the business.

Our ability to recover charged-off consumer receivables may be limited under federal and state laws,
which could limit our ability to recover on our charged-off consumer receivables regardless of any act or omission on our part.

Federal and state consumer protection, privacy and related laws and regulations extensively regulate the relationship between debt collectors
and debtors. Federal and state laws may limit our ability to recover on our charged-off consumer receivables regardless of any act or omission on our part. Some laws and regulations applicable to credit card issuers may preclude us from collecting
on charged-off consumer receivables we purchase if the credit card issuer previously failed to comply with applicable laws in generating or servicing those receivables. Additional consumer protection and privacy protection laws may be enacted that
would impose additional or more stringent requirements on the enforcement of and collection on consumer receivables. In addition, federal and state governments are considering, and may consider in the future, other legislative proposals that would
further regulate the collection of consumer receivables. Any failure to comply with any current or future laws applicable to us could limit our ability to collect on our charged-off consumer receivable portfolios, which could adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition.

Decreases in our collections due to economic conditions in the United States may have an adverse effect on our receivables management business. In addition, changes in expected collection rates on portfolios held by us may cause us to
record allowances for impairment against carrying values of these portfolios.

In our receivables management business, we have purchased charged-off consumer receivable portfolios for a percentage of their face amount. Revenue in respect of many of the purchased receivable
portfolios is recognized based on our estimate of future collections. Although these estimates are based on analytics, the actual amount collected on portfolios and the timing of those collections may differ from our estimates. Further deterioration
in economic conditions in the United States may lead to higher rates of unemployment and personal bankruptcy filings and decrease the ability of consumers to pay their debts and result in a decline in our collections. If collections on portfolios
are materially less than estimated, we may be required to record an impairment on our purchased receivables portfolios that could materially adversely affect our financial results. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded impairment
charges aggregating $76.4 million to establish valuation allowances against the carrying value of portfolio receivables as a result of reduced liquidation rates on existing portfolios associated with weaker economic conditions. No impairment charge
was required during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Risks Related to Our Level of Indebtedness

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and fund our other liquidity needs, and we may be forced to take other actions, which may not be successful, to satisfy our obligations under our
indebtedness.

At June 30, 2009, our
aggregate long-term indebtedness, net of current portion, was $3,811.4 million. Our ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance our debt obligations and to fund our other liquidity needs depends on our financial and operating performance,
which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We cannot make assurances that we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to
permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness and to fund our other liquidity needs.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations and keep us in compliance with the covenants
under our senior secured credit facilities or to fund our other liquidity needs, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. We cannot
ensure that we would be able to take any of these actions, that these actions would be successful and permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations or that these actions would be permitted under the terms of our existing or future debt
agreements, including our senior

secured credit facilities or the indentures that govern our outstanding notes. Our senior secured credit facilities documentation and the indentures that govern the notes restrict our ability to
dispose of assets and use the proceeds from the disposition. As a result, we may not be able to consummate those dispositions or use the proceeds to meet our debt service or other obligations, and any proceeds that are available may not be adequate
to meet any debt service or other obligations then due.

If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we will be in default and, as a result:



our debt holders could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable;



the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities could terminate their commitments to lend us money and foreclose against the assets securing our
borrowings; and



we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Our current or future indebtedness could impair our financial condition and reduce the funds available to us for other
purposes, and our failure to comply with the covenants contained in our senior secured credit facilities documentation or the indentures that govern our outstanding notes could result in an event of default that could adversely affect our results of
operations.

Our current or future
indebtedness could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition, including the following:



our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, product development, general
corporate purposes or other purposes may be impaired;



a significant portion of our cash flow from operations may be dedicated to the payment of interest and principal on our indebtedness, which will reduce
the funds available to us for our operations, capital expenditures, future business opportunities or other purposes;



the debt service requirements of our other indebtedness could make it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations;



because we may be more leveraged than some of our competitors, our debt may place us at a competitive disadvantage;



our leverage will increase our vulnerability to economic downturns and limit our ability to withstand adverse events in our business by limiting our
financial alternatives; and



our ability to capitalize on significant business opportunities and to plan for, or respond to, competition and changes in our business may be limited.

Our debt agreements contain,
and any agreements to refinance our debt likely will contain, financial and restrictive covenants that limit our ability to incur additional debt, including to finance future operations or other capital needs, and to engage in other activities that
we may believe are in our long-term best interests, including to dispose of or acquire assets. Our failure to comply with these covenants may result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could accelerate the maturity of our
indebtedness or result in modifications to our credit terms. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not have sufficient cash resources to satisfy our debt obligations and we may not be able to continue our operations as planned.

Despite our current indebtedness levels and the restrictive covenants set
forth in agreements governing our indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may still incur significant additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. Incurring additional indebtedness could increase the risks associated with our substantial
indebtedness.

Subject to the
restrictions in our debt agreements, we and certain of our subsidiaries may incur significant additional indebtedness, including additional secured indebtedness. Although the terms of our debt agreements contain restrictions on the incurrence of
additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of

qualifications and exceptions, and additional indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be significant. If new debt is added to our and our subsidiaries current debt
levels, the related risks that we face after this offering could increase.

Our lenders may not be willing or able to fulfill their lending commitments, which could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

The reduction in financial institutions willingness or ability to lend has increased the cost of capital
and reduced the availability of credit. Although we currently believe that the financial institutions (other than Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., which is a defaulting lender under our senior secured credit facilities and has not funded $26 million of
its commitment) syndicated under our senior secured credit facilities will be able to fulfill their commitments, there is no assurance that these institutions will be able to continue to do so, which could have a material adverse impact on our
business and financial condition.

Risks Related to This
Offering and Our Common Stock

There has not been a
public market for our shares since our recapitalization in 2006 and an active market may not develop or be maintained, which could limit your ability to sell shares of our common stock.

Before this offering, there has not been a public market for
our shares of common stock since 2006. Although we intend to apply to list the common stock on the , an active public market for our shares may not develop or be sustained after
this offering. The initial public offering price will be determined by negotiations between the underwriters, the selling stockholders and our Board of Directors and may not be representative of the market price at which our shares of common stock
will trade after this offering. In particular, we cannot assure you that you will be able to resell our shares at or above the initial public offering price.

The price of our common stock could be volatile.

The overall market and the price of our common stock may fluctuate greatly. The trading price of our common stock may be significantly
affected by various factors, including:



quarterly fluctuations in our operating results;



changes in investors and analysts perception of the business risks and conditions of our business;



our ability to meet the earnings estimates and other performance expectations of financial analysts or investors;



unfavorable commentary or downgrades of our stock by equity research analysts;



termination of lock-up agreements or other restrictions on the ability of our existing stockholders to sell their shares after this offering;



fluctuations in the stock prices of our peer companies or in stock markets in general; and



general economic or political conditions.

Future sales of our common stock may lower our stock price.

If our existing stockholders sell a large number of shares of our common stock following this offering, the
market price of our common stock could decline significantly. In addition, the perception in the public market that our existing stockholders might sell shares of common stock could depress the market price of our common stock, regardless of the
actual plans of our existing stockholders. Immediately after this offering, approximately shares of our common stock will be outstanding, or
if the underwriters' option is exercised in full. Of these shares, shares will be available for
immediate resale in the public market, including all of the shares in this offering, and shares will be available for resale 90 days following completion of this

offering, except those held by our affiliates. Of the remaining shares outstanding, shares are subject to lock-up agreements restricting the sale of those shares for 180 days from the
date of this prospectus. However, the underwriters may waive this restriction and allow the stockholders to sell their shares at any time.

In addition, following this offering and the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares offered by them hereby, assuming an initial
public offering price of $ per share, which is the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the holders of
shares of common stock will have the right, subject to certain exceptions and conditions, to require us to register their shares of common stock under the Securities Act, and
they will have the right to participate in future registrations of securities by us. Registration of any of these outstanding shares of common stock would result in such shares becoming freely tradable without compliance with Rule 144 upon
effectiveness of the registration statement. See Shares Available for Future Sale.

After this offering, we intend to register approximately shares of common stock that are reserved for issuance upon exercise of
options granted under our stock option plans. Once we register these shares, they can be sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to restrictions under the securities laws applicable to resales by affiliates.

Investors in this offering will suffer immediate and substantial dilution.

The initial public offering price per
share of common stock will be substantially higher than our pro forma net tangible book value per share immediately after this offering. As a result, you will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the book value of our assets after
subtracting our liabilities. At an offering price of $ per share, the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover of this prospectus, you will incur immediate and substantial
dilution in an amount of $ per share of common stock. See Dilution.

Moreover, we issued options in the past to acquire common stock at prices significantly below the assumed initial public offering price. As
of June 30, 2009, shares of common stock were issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options with a weighted average exercise price of
$ per share. To the extent that these outstanding options are ultimately exercised, you will incur further dilution.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and
bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt that our stockholders may find beneficial.

Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult or
discouraging an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. Our corporate governance documents include provisions:



establishing a classified board of directors so that not all members of our board are elected at one time;



providing that directors may be removed by stockholders only for cause.



authorizing blank check preferred stock, which could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to our common stock;



limiting the ability of our stockholders to call and bring business before special meetings and to take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting;



requiring advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our stockholders and for nominations of candidates for
election to our board of directors;



limiting the determination of the number of directors on our board of directors and the filling of vacancies or newly created seats on the board to our
board of directors then in office.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay hostile takeovers and changes in control of our company or changes in our management.

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation law, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of
our outstanding common stock. Any provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to
receive a premium for their shares of our common stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.

Our existing stockholders will exert significant influence over us after the completion of this offering. Their interests may not coincide with yours
and they may make decisions with which you may disagree.

After this offering, Gary L. West, Mary E. West and investment funds associated with the Sponsors will own, in the aggregate, approximately % of our outstanding common stock. As a
result, these stockholders, acting individually or together, could control substantially all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of most directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, this
concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in control of our company and make some transactions more difficult or impossible without the support of these stockholders. The interests of these stockholders may not always coincide with
our interests as a company or the interest of other stockholders. Accordingly, these stockholders could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that you would not approve or make decisions with which you may disagree.

Because
will own more than % of our voting power after giving effect to this offering, we are considered a controlled company for the purposes of
the listing requirements. As such, we are exempt from the corporate governance requirements that our
board of directors, our compensation committee and our nominating and corporate governance committee meet the standard of independence established by those corporate governance requirements. As a result, our Board of Directors and those committees
may have more directors who do not meet the independence standards than they would if those standards were to apply. The
independence standards are intended to ensure that directors who meet the independence standard are free of any conflicting interest that could influence their actions as
directors.

If securities or industry analysts do not
publish research or reports about our business, if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our common stock or if our operating results do not meet their expectations, our common stock price could decline.

The market price of our common stock will be influenced by the
research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets,
which in turn could cause the market price of our common stock or its trading volume to decline. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover our company downgrade our common stock or if our operating results or prospects do not meet their
expectations, the market price of our common stock could decline.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the proceeds we receive in this offering and might not apply the proceeds in ways that increase the value of your investment.

Our management will have broad discretion to use our net
proceeds from this offering, and you will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of these proceeds. Our management might not apply our net proceeds of this offering in ways that increase the value of your investment.
We expect to use the net proceeds to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, to repurchase certain of our notes, to refund the amounts payable as a result of this offering under the management agreement between us and the
Sponsors and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Our management might not be able to yield a significant return, if any, on any investment of these net proceeds. You will not have the opportunity to influence our decisions on
how to use our net proceeds from this offering.

After the completion of this offering, we do not expect to declare any dividends in the foreseeable
future.

After the completion of this
offering, we do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors may need to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the
only way to realize any future gains on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

This prospectus contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position,
business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as may, will, should,

These forward-looking statements are only predictions. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important
factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to materially differ from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. We
have described in the Risk Factors section and elsewhere in this prospectus the principal risks and uncertainties that we believe could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements. Because forward-looking
statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as guarantees of future events.

The forward-looking statements in this prospectus represent our

Based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $
per share, which is the mid-point of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, we estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of
approximately $ million, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions in connection with this offering and estimated offering expenses payable by us of $
million. See Underwriters.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the shares of common stock sold by the selling stockholders in this offering.

We expect to use a part of the net proceeds from this offering
received by us to repay or repurchase indebtedness, including amounts outstanding under our . We also expect to use a part of the net proceeds from this offering to fund the
amounts payable upon the termination of the management agreement between us and the Sponsors entered into in connection with the consummation of our recapitalization in 2006. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds received by us to repurchase
certain of our notes and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

We will have broad discretion in the way that we use the net proceeds of this offering received by us. The amounts that we actually spend for the purposes described above may vary significantly and will
depend, in part, on the timing and amount of our future revenue, our future expenses and any potential acquisitions that we may pursue. Pending the uses of the net proceeds of this offering as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds of
this offering received by us in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities including corporate, financial institution, federal agency and U.S. government obligations. See Risk FactorsRisks Related to This Offering and Our Common
StockOur management will have broad discretion over the use of the proceeds we receive in this offering and might not apply the proceeds in ways that increase the value of your investment.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We currently intend to retain earnings to finance the growth and
development of our business and for working capital and general corporate purposes, and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of
Directors and will depend upon earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, contractual restrictions with respect to payment of dividends, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors. See
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital Resources.

on a pro forma as adjusted basis to give pro forma effect to: (1) the Common Stock Conversion, and (2) the issuance and sale by us of
shares of our common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share,
the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover of this prospectus, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us and the application of the net proceeds to us from this offering as
described in Use of Proceeds.

You should read this table together with the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Use of Proceeds sections of this
prospectus as well as our financial statements and related notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

A $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price per share would decrease or increase long-term obligations, including current
portion, by $ million, would increase or decrease additional paid-in capital by $ million and would
decrease or increase total stockholders deficit and would increase or decrease total capitalization each by $ million,

after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us. An increase or decrease of 1.0 million shares in the number of shares offered by
us would decrease or increase long-term obligations, including current portion, by $ million, would increase or decrease additional paid-in capital by
$ million, and would decrease or increase total stockholders deficit and would increase or decrease total capitalization each by approximately
$ million, assuming the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, the mid-point of the range
set forth on the front cover of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. The pro forma as adjusted information discussed above is illustrative
only and will change based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering.

The share information as of June 30, 2009 shown in the table above excludes:



shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options outstanding as of
June 30, 2009 at a weighted average exercise price of $ per share;



shares of common stock reserved as of June 30, 2009 for future issuance
under our Stock Plan; and



shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our stock-based
compensation plans, including shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our
Equity Incentive Plan, which will become effective on the date of this prospectus.

If you invest in our common stock, your ownership interest will
be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share of our common stock and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. Dilution results from the fact that the
per share offering price of the common stock is substantially in excess of the book value per share attributable to the existing stockholders for the presently outstanding stock.

Our net tangible book value at June 30, 2009 was
$ million, or $ per share. Pro forma net tangible book value per share before the offering has been
determined by dividing net tangible book value (total book value of tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2009 (after giving effect to the Common Stock Conversion).

After giving effect to the sale of our common stock in this
offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, the mid-point of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting the
underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma net tangible book value at June 30, 2009 would have been $ million, or
$ per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value per share of $ to the
existing stockholders and dilution in net tangible book value per share of $ to new investors who purchase shares in the offering. The following table illustrates this per share
dilution to new investors:

A $1.00
increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, the mid-point of the price range set forth on the front cover of this prospectus, would
increase or decrease pro forma net tangible book value by approximately $ million, or approximately $ per
share, and the dilution per share to investors in this offering by approximately $ per share, assuming that the number of shares offered by us set forth on the front cover of
this prospectus remains the same and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We may also increase or decrease the number of shares we are offering. An increase of 1.0 million
shares in the number of shares offered by us would result in a pro forma net tangible book value of approximately $ million, or approximately
$ per share, and the dilution per share to investors in this offering would be approximately $ per share,
assuming the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, the mid-point of the price range set forth on the front cover of this prospectus, remains the same and after
deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, a decrease of 1.0 million shares in the number of shares offered by us would result in a pro forma net tangible book value of
approximately $ million, or approximately $ per share, and the dilution per share to investors in this
offering would be approximately $ per share, assuming the assumed initial public offering price of $ per
share, the mid-point of the price range set forth on the front cover of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. The dilution information
discussed above is illustrative only and will change based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering.

The following table summarizes, on the same pro forma basis as of June 30, 2009, the

A $1.00
increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, the mid-point of the price range set forth on the front cover of this prospectus, would
increase or decrease total consideration paid by new investors and total consideration paid by all stockholders by $ million, assuming that the number of shares offered by us
set forth on the front cover of this prospectus remains the same, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. An increase or decrease of 1.0 million shares in the number of
shares offered by us would increase or decrease the total consideration paid to us by new investors and total consideration paid to us by all stockholders by $ million, assuming
the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, the mid-point of the price range set forth on the front cover of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting
the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The following table sets forth a summary of our selected
consolidated financial data. We derived the selected consolidated financial data as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the years ended December 31, 2008, December 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006 from our
audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The selected consolidated financial data as of December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, and for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 have been derived from our financial statements for such years, which are not included in this prospectus. On January 1, 2009, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial StatementsAn Amendment of ARB No. 51
, which required retrospective application and accordingly all prior periods have been recast to reflect the retrospective adoption.

We derived the selected consolidated financial data for the
six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, which, in the opinion of our management, have been prepared on the same basis as the
audited financial statements and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations and financial position for such periods. Results for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

The selected consolidated financial data set forth below are not necessarily indicative of the results of future operations and should be
read in conjunction with the discussion under the heading Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the other financial information included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Includes stock based compensation of $483, $538, $28,738, $1,276 and $1,404 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and $669 and
$715 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

(2)

Represents earnings per common share after giving effect to the Common Stock Conversion.

The term EBITDA refers to earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and the term Adjusted EBITDA refers to
earnings before interest expense, share based compensation, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring litigation settlement costs, impairments and other non-cash reserves, transaction costs and after-acquisition synergies. We present
Adjusted EBITDA because our management team uses it as an important supplemental measure in evaluating our operating performance and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of
companies in our industry. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure in assessing compliance with our senior credit facilities and for calculations required to be made under the indentures governing our outstanding notes; see Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital ResourcesDebt Covenants. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it provides important insight into our
profitability trends and allows management and investors to analyze operating results with and without the impact of certain non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and impairments and other non-cash
reserves, as well as certain litigation settlement and transaction costs and after-acquisition synergies. Although we use Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the performance of our business, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial
performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the use of Adjusted EBITDA is limited because it does not include certain material costs, such as depreciation, amortization and interest, necessary to
operate our business. In addition, as disclosed below, certain adjustments included in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA are based on managements estimates and do not reflect actual results. While we use net income as a measure of
performance, we also believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when presented along with net income, provides balanced disclosure which, for the reasons set forth above, is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance and profitability. Adjusted
EBITDA included in this prospectus should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income (loss) as calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures of other companies. Set forth below is a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income.

Represents, for each period presented, unrealized synergies for acquisitions, consisting primarily of headcount reductions and telephony-related savings, direct
acquisition expenses, transaction costs incurred with the recapitalization and the exclusion of the negative EBITDA in one acquired entity, which was an unrestricted subsidiary under the indentures governing our outstanding notes. Amounts shown are
permitted to be added to EBITDA for purposes of calculating our compliance with certain covenants under our credit facility and the indentures governing our outstanding notes.

(c)

Represents non-cash portfolio receivable allowances.

(d)

Represents site closures and other asset impairments.

(e)

Represents the unrealized loss on foreign denominated debt and the loss on transactions with affiliates denominated in foreign currencies.

Represents interest incurred on a synthetic building lease, which was purchased in September 2006.

(h)

Adjusted EBITDA does not include pro forma adjustments for acquired entities of $49.1 million in 2008 and $9.1 million in 2007 as is permitted in the debt covenants.
Pro forma adjustments for acquired entities for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $5.1 million and $54.5 million, respectively.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial
information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this prospectus contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking information due to the factors discussed under Risk Factors, Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and elsewhere in this prospectus.

During the third quarter of 2009, we implemented certain
organizational changes and our Chief Executive Officer began making strategic and operating decisions with respect to assessing performance and allocating resources based on a new segment structure. We now operate in two business segments (the
Current Segments):



Unified Communications, including reservationless, operator-assisted, web and video conferencing services and alerts and notifications services; and

Consistent with this approach,
the receivables management business (formerly reported as a separate segment) is now part of the Communication Services segment, and the newly named Unified Communications segment is composed of the alerts and notifications business (formerly
managed under the Communications Services segment) and the conferencing and collaboration business. The revised organizational structure more closely aligns the resources used by the businesses in each segment. The activities of the receivables
management business have become more focused over the past year on providing agent-based services to the client base it shares with the other Communication Services businesses. Accordingly, we expect it will benefit from the efforts of a common
sales force and will utilize shared contact center infrastructure to better coordinate agent and workstation productivity and more cost-effectively allocate resources. In addition, we intend to leverage the sales channel and product distribution
expertise developed in the conferencing and collaboration business, including the management of a field sales force and the acquisition of clients over the Internet, to facilitate the growth of the alerts and notifications business.

In addition to the required disclosure using the Prior Segments,
supplemental disclosure has been provided in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations using the Current Segments. See Results of OperationsCurrent Segments.

We are a leading provider of technology-driven, voice-oriented solutions. We offer our clients a broad range of
communications and infrastructure management solutions that help them manage or support critical communications. The scale and processing capacity of our proprietary technology platforms, combined with our world-class expertise and processes in
managing telephony and human capital, enable us to provide our clients with premium outsourced communications solutions. Our automated service and conferencing solutions are designed to improve our clients cost structure and provide reliable,
high-quality services. Our solutions also help deliver mission-critical services, such as public safety and emergency communications. We serve Fortune 1000 companies and other clients in a variety of industries, including telecommunications,
banking, retail, financial services, technology and healthcare, and have sales and operations in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and Latin America.

Since our founding in 1986, we have invested significantly to expand our technology platforms and
develop our operational processes to meet the complex communication needs of our clients. We have evolved into a predominantly automated processor of voice-oriented transactions and a provider of network infrastructure solutions for the
communications needs of our clients. In 2008, we grew revenue by 7.0% over 2007 to $2,247.4 million and generated $633.6 million in adjusted EBITDA, or 28.2% margins, and $19.5 million in net income. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we
grew revenue by 12.7% over the comparable period in 2008 to $1,213.9 million and generated $330.2 million in adjusted EBITDA, or 27.2% margins, and $57.1 million in net income. See Selected Consolidated Financial Data.

Investing in technology and developing specialized expertise
in the industries we serve are critical components to our strategy of enhancing our services and delivering operational excellence. In 2008, we managed over 16.5 billion telephony minutes and over 61 million conference calls, facilitated over
240 million 9-1-1 calls, and delivered over 307 million notification calls and 60 million data messages. With approximately 500,000 telephony ports to handle conference calls, alerts and notifications and customer service, we believe
our platforms provide scale and flexibility to handle greater transaction volume than our competitors, offer superior service and develop new offerings. These ports include approximately 150,000 Internet Protocol (IP) ports, which we
believe provide us with the only large-scale proprietary IP-based global conferencing platform deployed and in use today. Our technology-driven platforms allow us to provide a broad range of complementary automated and agent-based service offerings
to our diverse client base.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenue

In our Unified Communications segment, our conferencing and
collaboration services are generally billed on a per participant minute basis and our alerts and notifications services are generally billed on a per message or per minute basis. Billing rates for these services vary depending on participant
geographic location, type of service (such as audio, video or web conferencing) and type of message (such as voice, text, email or fax). We also charge clients for additional features, such as conference call recording or transcription services.
Since we entered the conferencing services business, the average rate per minute that we charge has declined while total minutes sold has increased. This is consistent with industry trends which is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

In our Communication Services segment, our emergency communications solutions are generally billed per month based on the
number of billing telephone numbers and cell towers covered under each client contract. We also bill monthly for our premise-based database solution. In addition, we bill for sales, installation and maintenance of our desktop communications
technology solutions. Our automated and agent-based customer service solutions are generally billed on a per minute or per hour basis. We are generally paid on a contingent fee basis for our receivables management and overpayment identification and
recovery services as well as for certain other agent-based services.

The principal component of cost of services for our Unified
Communications segment is our variable telephone expense. Significant components of our cost of services in this segment also include labor expense, primarily related to commissions for our sales force. Because the services we provide in this
segment are largely automated, labor expense is less significant than the labor expense we experience in our Communication Services segment.

The principal component of cost of services for our Communication Services segment is labor expense. Labor expense included in costs of services primarily reflects compensation for the agents providing
our agent-based services, but also includes compensation for personnel dedicated to emergency communications database management, manufacturing and development of our premise-based public safety solution as well as collection expenses, such as costs
of letters and postage, incurred in connection with our receivables management. We generally pay commissions to sales professionals on both new sales and incremental revenue generated from existing clients. Significant components of our cost of
services in this segment also include variable telephone expense.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The principal component of our selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) is salary and benefits for our sales
force, client support staff, technology and development personnel, senior management and other personnel involved in business support functions. SG&A also includes certain fixed telephone costs as well as other expenses that support the ongoing
operation of our business, such as facilities costs, certain service contract costs, equipment depreciation and maintenance, and amortization of finite-lived intangible assets.

Key Drivers Affecting Our Results of Operations

Factors Related to Our Indebtedness
. In connection with
our recapitalization in 2006, we incurred a significant amount of additional indebtedness. Accordingly, our interest expense has increased significantly over the period since the recapitalization. We recently extended the maturity for $1.0 billion
of our existing term loans from October 24, 2013 to July 15, 2016 (or July 15, 2014, under certain circumstances related to the amount of outstanding senior notes and the senior secured leverage ratio in effect at such time). While recent economic
conditions have generally resulted in a tightening of credit availability, the maturity extension helps improve our liquidity profile, particularly when combined with the anticipated reduction of our outstanding indebtedness using a portion of the
proceeds of this offering, which will also significantly reduce our interest expense.

Evolution to Automated Technologies.
As we have continued our evolution into a diversified and automated technology-driven service provider, our revenue from automated services businesses has grown
from 37% of total revenue in 2005 to 62% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and our operating income from automated services businesses has grown from 53% of total operating income to 86% over the same period. This shift in business mix towards
higher growth and higher margin automated processing businesses has driven our adjusted EBITDA margin from 25% in 2005 to 27% for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Acquisition Activities
. Identifying and successfully integrating acquisitions of value-added service
providers has been a key component of our growth strategy. We will continue to seek opportunities to expand our capabilities across industries and service offerings. We expect this will occur through a combination of organic growth, as well as
strategic partnerships, alliances and acquisitions to expand into new services offerings as well as into new industries. Since 2005, we have invested approximately $1.6 billion in strategic acquisitions. We believe there are acquisition candidates
that will enable us to expand our capabilities and markets and intend to continue to evaluate acquisitions in a disciplined manner and pursue those that provide attractive opportunities to enhance our growth and profitability.

Revised Organizational Structure.
During the third quarter of 2009, we began
operating in two segments, Unified Communications and Communication Services. We moved our alerts and notifications division from the Communication Services segment into the Unified Communications segment to leverage the sales channel and product
distribution expertise developed in the conferencing and collaboration business, including the management of a field sales force and the acquisition of customers over the Internet, to facilitate growth. The receivables management division is now
part of the communication services segment, which is expected to continue to facilitate the use of a common sales force and shared contact center infrastructure to better coordinate agent and workstation productivity and more cost-effectively
allocate resources. This revised organizational structure is intended to more closely align each business line with the allocation of resources by our management team and more closely reflects how we manage our business.

Factors Affecting Accounts Receivable Management
. We have
historically purchased portfolios of charged-off accounts receivables as a component of our receivables management services business. In 2008, we recorded reductions in revenue of $76.4 million as an allowance for impairment of purchased accounts
receivables. These impairments were due to reduced liquidation rates and reduced future collection estimates on existing portfolios. As a result of the difficulty in identifying new portfolio purchases on attractive terms and the recent
deterioration of the U.S. economy, we have significantly reduced our portfolio purchases since the end of 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the use of
estimates and assumptions on the part of management. The estimates and assumptions used by management are based on our historical experiences combined with managements understanding of current facts and circumstances. Certain of our accounting
policies are considered critical as they are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require significant or complex judgment on the part of management. We believe the following represent our critical
accounting policies as contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission Financial Reporting Release No. 60,
Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies.

Revenue Recognition.
In our Unified Communications
segment, our services are generally billed and recognized on a per message or per minute basis. Our Communication Services segment recognizes revenue for automated and agent-based services in the month that services are performed and are generally
billed based on call duration, hours of input, number of calls or a contingent basis. Emergency communications services revenue is generated primarily from monthly fees based on the number of billing telephone numbers and cell towers covered under
contract. In addition, product sales and installations are generally recognized upon completion of the installation and client acceptance of a fully functional system or, for contracts that are completed in stages and include contract-specified
milestones representative of fair value, upon achieving such contract milestones. As it relates to installation sales, clients are generally progress-billed prior to the completion of the installation and these advance payments are deferred until
the system installations are completed or specified milestones are attained. Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts are accumulated and recorded as deferred costs until the system installations are completed or specified milestones are attained.
Contracts for annual recurring services such as support and maintenance agreements are generally billed in advance and are recorded as revenue ratable (on a monthly basis) over the contractual periods. Nonrefundable up front fees and related costs
are recognized ratably over the term of the contract or the expected life of the client relationship, whichever is longer. Revenue for contingent collection services and overpayment identification and recovery services is recognized in the month
collection payments are received based upon a percentage of cash collected or other agreed upon contractual parameters. In compliance with SOP 03-3, we account for our investments in receivable portfolios using either the level-yield method or the
cost recovery method. During 2008 and 2009, we began using the cost recovery method for healthcare receivable portfolios and certain newly acquired pools. For all other receivable portfolios, we believe that the amounts and timing of cash
collections for our purchased receivables can be reasonably estimated; therefore, we utilize the level-yield method of accounting for our purchased receivables. The level-yield method applies an effective interest rate or internal rate of return
(IRR) to the cost basis of

portfolio pools. SOP 03-3 increases the probability that we will incur impairment allowances in the future, and these allowances could be material. Periodically, we will sell all or a portion of
a receivables pool to third parties. The gain or loss on these sales is recognized to the extent the proceeds exceed or, in the case of a loss, are less than the cost basis of the underlying receivables.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets.
Goodwill and intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, at December 31, 2008 were
$1,642.9 million and $405.0 million, respectively. Management is required to exercise significant judgment in valuing the acquisitions in connection with the initial purchase price allocation and the ongoing evaluation of goodwill and other
intangible assets for impairment. The purchase price allocation process requires estimates and judgments as to certain expectations and business strategies. If the actual results differ from the assumptions and judgments made, the amounts recorded
in the consolidated financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill or require acceleration in amortization expense. In addition, SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
requires that goodwill be tested annually using a two-step process. The first step is to identify any potential impairment of the goodwill or intangible assets. The second step measures the amount of impairment loss, if any. Any changes in key
assumptions about the businesses and their prospects or changes in market conditions or other externalities could result in an impairment charge and such a charge could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of
operations.

Our indefinite-lived intangible
assets consist of trade names and their values are assessed separately from goodwill as part of the annual impairment testing. This assessment is made using the relief-from-royalty method, under which the value of a trade name is determined based on
a royalty that could be charged to a third party for using the trade name in question. The royalty, which is based on a reasonable rate applied against forecasted sales, is tax-effected and discounted to present value. The most significant
assumptions in this evaluation include estimated future sales, the royalty rate and the after-tax discount rate.

Income Taxes.
We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes
. Effective
January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
(FIN 48), which clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. We recognize current tax liabilities and assets based on an estimate of taxes payable or refundable in the current year for each of the jurisdictions in which we transact business. As part of the
determination of our current tax liability, we exercise considerable judgment in evaluating positions we have taken in our tax returns. We have established reserves for probable tax exposures. These reserves, included in long-term tax liabilities,
represent our estimate of amounts expected to be paid, which we adjust over time as more information becomes available. We also recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences
(e.g., book depreciation versus tax depreciation). The calculation of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities requires management to apply significant judgment relating to the application of complex tax laws, changes in tax laws or related
interpretations, uncertainties related to the outcomes of tax audits and changes in our operations or other facts and circumstances. We must continually monitor changes in these factors. Changes in such factors may result in changes to management
estimates and could require us to adjust our tax assets and liabilities and record additional income tax expense or benefits.

Includes stock based compensation of $28.7, $1.3 and $1.4 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and $0.7 for the six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2009.

Comparison of the
Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

Revenue:
Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $136.7 million, or 12.7%, to $1,213.9 million from $1,077.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in revenue for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 reflected $135.4 million from the acquisitions of HBF Communications, Inc. (HBF), Genesys and Positron Public Safety Systems, Inc. (Positron). These acquisitions closed on April 1,
2008, May 22, 2008 and November 21, 2008, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Receivable Management segment recorded impairment charges of $44.1 million to establish a valuation allowance against the
carrying value of portfolio receivables. No impairment charge was taken during the comparable period in 2009.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, our top 100 clients represented 55% of total revenue. This compares to 58% for the comparable
period in 2008. The aggregate revenue as a percentage of our total revenue from our largest client, AT&T, during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was approximately 12% and 14%, respectively.

Communication Services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $24.8 million, or 4.5%, to $577.6 million from $552.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 included $40.2 million due to the acquisitions of Positron and HBF.

Conferencing Services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $107.7 million, or 25.3%, to $533.4 million from $425.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The
increase in revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was due to organic growth of $12.6 million as a result of increased volume, offset by reduced pricing, and the acquisition of Genesys which accounted for $95.1 million.

Receivables Management revenue for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 increased $4.4 million, or 4.4%, to $105.9 million from $101.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, impairment charges of $44.1 million were incurred. No
impairment charge was taken during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The portfolio impairments taken in 2008 decreased carrying values for these portfolios, which are applied to the collection yield curves resulting in lower revenue
recognition in subsequent periods. Revenue was also negatively affected by moving six portfolio receivable pools to the cost recovery method of accounting during the second quarter of 2009.

Cost of services:
Cost of services consists of
direct labor, telephone expense and other costs directly related to providing services to clients. Cost of services for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $36.6 million, including $57.6 million from acquired entities, or 7.3%, to
$538.3 million from $501.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. As a percentage of revenue, cost of services improved to 44.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 46.6% for the comparable period in 2008.

Communication Services costs of services for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $7.4 million, or 2.7%, to $281.9 million from $274.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The
increase in cost of services for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included $32.6 million from the acquisitions of HBF and

Positron. As a percentage of revenue, Communication Services cost of services improved to 48.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 49.7% for the comparable period in 2008.
This reduction in the percentage of cost of services to revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was largely due to improved labor efficiencies and utilization.

Conferencing Services cost of services for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $42.6 million, or 27.0%, to
$200.3 million from $157.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in cost of services for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included $25.0 million from the acquisition of Genesys. As a percentage of revenue,
Conferencing Services cost of services increased to 37.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 37.0% for the comparable period in 2008.

Receivables Management cost of services for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $12.7 million, or 18.0%, to $58.0 million from
$70.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. As a percentage of revenue, Receivables Management cost of services improved to 54.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 69.7% for the comparable period in 2008. The
improvement in cost of services as a percentage of revenue was primarily the result of a $44.1 million portfolio receivable impairment charge recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2008. No impairment charge was taken during the six
months ended June 30, 2009. Excluding the impairment, cost of services as a percentage of revenue would have been 48.6% during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Purchases of new receivable portfolios were down significantly from the same
period in 2008 resulting in a greater proportion of 2009 collection activity from older receivable portfolios which have a higher cost of collection.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A)
:
SG&A expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 increased by $34.1 million, or 8.0%, to $459.3 million from $425.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This increase included $41.8 million from acquisitions. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses improved to
37.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 39.5% for the comparable period of 2008. This improvement was primarily the result of a $44.1 million portfolio receivable impairment charge recorded in the comparable period in 2008.

Communication Services SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $18.6 million, or 8.6%, to $233.5 million from $214.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
The increase in SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included $11.1 million from the acquisition of Positron and HBF and $2.7 million in additional litigation settlement expenses. As a percentage of revenue, Communication
Services SG&A expenses increased to 40.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 38.9% for the comparable period of 2008.

Conferencing Services SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $23.2 million, or 14.6%, to $181.7 million from
$158.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in SG&A for

the six months ended June 30, 2009 included $30.8 million from the acquisition of Genesys. As a percentage of revenue, Conferencing Services SG&A expenses improved to 34.1% for the six
months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 37.2% for the comparable period of 2008. The Conferencing Services segment has effectively reduced SG&A expenses through realized synergies from acquisitions.

Receivables Management SG&A expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 decreased $8.1 million, or 15.1%, to $45.4 million from $53.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. As a percentage of revenue, Receivables Management SG&A improved to 42.8% for the six months ended
June 30, 2009, compared to 52.7% for the comparable period of 2008. The improvement in SG&A expenses as a percentage of this segments revenue was primarily the result of a $44.1 million portfolio receivable impairment charge recorded
during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Operating income:
Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased by $65.9 million, or 43.9%, to $216.2 million from $150.3 million for six months ended June 30, 2008. As a percentage of revenue,
operating income improved to 17.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 13.9% for the comparable period of 2008. The increase in operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily the result of a $44.1
million impairment charges recorded to establish a valuation allowance against the carrying value of portfolio receivables in the Receivables Management segment during the comparable period in 2008 and net operating income from acquisitions and
related synergies in 2009. No impairment charge was taken during 2009.

Communication Services operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $1.2 million, or 1.8%, to $62.2 million from $63.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in operating income for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 included an operating loss of $3.5 million from the acquisitions of HBF and Positron. As a percentage of revenue, Communication Services operating income declined to 10.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009,
compared to 11.5% for the comparable period of 2008 due to the factors discussed above for revenue, cost of services and SG&A expenses.

Conferencing Services operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $41.9 million, or 38.2%, to $151.4 million from
$109.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included operating income of $39.3 million from the acquisition of Genesys. As a percentage of revenue, Conferencing
Services operating income improved to 28.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 25.7% for the comparable period in 2008.

Receivables Management operating income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $25.2 million, or 111.3%, to $2.6
million from ($22.7) million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. As a percentage of revenue, Receivables Management operating income (loss) improved to 2.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from (22.3%) for the comparable period
in 2008. The increase in operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily the result of a $44.1 million impairment charge. No impairment charge was taken during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Other income (expense):
Other income (expense) includes interest expense from
short-term and long-term borrowings under credit facilities and portfolio notes payable, interest income from short-term investments and sub-lease rental income. Other income (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was ($122.0) million
compared to ($143.4) million for the comparable period in 2008. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $127.7 million compared to $144.4 million during the same period in 2008. The change in interest expense was primarily
due to lower effective interest rates, partially offset by increased outstanding debt, in the six months ended June 30, 2009 than we experienced during the same period in 2008. Interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2009
also included a reduction of $2.7 million for the decline in the fair value liability of the interest rate swap hedges which were determined to be ineffective and therefore did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. No such ineffectiveness was
experienced during the comparable period in 2008. Interest expense was further reduced during the six months ended June 30, 2009 by $3.7 million for hedges that did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Also, during the six months ended
June 30, 2009, we recognized $4.1 million of foreign currency gain on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.

Noncontrolling interest
:
We had noncontrolling interest (formerly minority interest) expense of $2.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 compared to noncontrolling interest income of $3.7 million in the comparable 2008 period. The portfolio receivable impairment recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2008 caused a $9.8 million reduction in
noncontrolling interest expense.

Net
incomeWest Corporation:
Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased by $50.5 million, or 774.5%, to $57.1 million from net income of $6.5 million for the comparable period in 2008. Net income includes a
provision for income tax expense at an effective rate of approximately 37.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to an effective tax rate of approximately 58.6% for the same period in 2008. The decrease in the effective tax rate for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 is primarily due to an increase in noncontrolling interest expense as a percentage of net income before taxes.

Earnings (Loss) per common share:
Earnings per common L sharebasic for the six months ended June 30, 2009 improved
$0.85 to $7.38 from $6.53 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Earnings per common L sharediluted for the six months ended June 30, 2009 improved $0.82 to $7.08 from $6.26 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Loss per common A
sharebasic and diluted for the six months ended June 30, 2009 improved $0.48 to ($0.19) from ($0.67) for the comparable period in 2008. The improvement in earnings (loss) per share was primarily the result of increased net income for both
Class L and Class A shareholders.

Years Ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007

Revenue:
Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased $147.9 million, or 7.0%, to $2,247.4 million from $2,099.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase is after the $76.4 million valuation
allowance which was recorded as a revenue reduction. The acquisitions of CenterPost Communications, Inc. (now known as West Notifications Group Inc.) (WNG), TeleVox Software, Incorporated (TeleVox), Omnium Worldwide, Inc.
(Omnium), HBF, Genesys and Positron contributed $190.3 million of incremental revenue in 2008.

During 2008 and 2007, revenue from our 100 largest clients included $23.0 million and $13.6 million, respectively, of revenue derived from
new clients. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, our largest 100 clients represented approximately 56% and 57% of revenue, respectively. The aggregate revenue provided by our largest client, AT&T, as a percentage of our total
revenue in 2008 and 2007 was approximately 13% and 14%, respectively. No other client accounted for more than 10% of our total 2008 or 2007 revenue.

Communication Services revenue in 2008 increased $21.7 million, or 2.0%, to $1,116.1 million from $1,094 million in 2007. The increase is primarily due to the acquisitions of WNG, TeleVox, HBF and Positron, which collectively accounted for
$20.4 million of revenue.

Conferencing Services
revenue in 2008 increased $209.5 million, or 28.8%, to $937.3 million from $727.8 million in 2007. The increase in revenue included $143.0 million from the acquisition of Genesys. The remaining $66.5 million increase was attributable to organic
growth. Since we entered the conferencing services business, the average rate per minute that we charge has declined while total minutes sold has increased. This is consistent with the industry trend, which is expected to continue for the
foreseeable future.

Receivables Management
revenue in 2008 decreased $83.4 million, or 29.4
%
, to $200.0 million from $283.4 million in 2007. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the $76.4 million impairment to establish a valuation allowance against the carrying value
of portfolio receivables. The valuation allowance was calculated in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 03-3, Accounting for Loans or Certain Securities Acquired in a Transfer
(SOP 03-3), which requires that a valuation allowance be taken for decreases in expected cash flows or a change in timing of cash flows which would otherwise require a reduction in the stated yield on a portfolio pool. During 2007, we
recorded a similar $2.5 million impairment charge. Partially offsetting the decrease in revenue was an increase in revenue from the acquisition of Omnium of $26.9 million. During 2008, our ability to purchase charged-off receivable portfolios on
acceptable terms and in sufficient amounts was significantly reduced. Purchases of portfolio receivables were $45.4 million during 2008, which was $82.0 million less than during 2007. As a result of this lower purchase activity, our ability to
collect and recognize revenue has been adversely affected.

Cost of Services:
Cost of services represents direct labor, variable telephone expense, commissions and other costs directly related to providing services to clients. Cost of services in 2008 increased $102.6 million, or
11.2%, to $1,015.0 million from $912.4 million in 2007. The increase in cost of services included $60.6 million in costs associated with services offered resulting from the acquisitions of WNG, TeleVox, Omnium, HBF, Genesys and Positron. As a
percentage of revenue, cost of services increased to 45.2% for 2008, compared to 43.5% in 2007.

Communication Services cost of services in 2008 increased $31.1 million, or 6.1%, to $542.0 million from $510.9 million in 2007. The increase in cost of services included $12.3 million in costs from the
acquisitions of WNG, TeleVox, HBF and Positron. As a percentage of this segments revenue, Communication Services cost of services increased to 48.6% in 2008 compared to 46.7% in 2007. Rising labor and benefit costs contributed to the increase
in our cost of sales percentage in 2008.

Conferencing Services cost of services in 2008 increased $65.0 million, or 24.0%, to $336.2 million from $271.2 million in 2007. The increase in cost of services included $38.4 million in costs associated with services offered resulting
from the acquisition of Genesys. The remaining increase is primarily the result of increased revenue volume. As a percentage of this segments revenue, Conferencing Services cost of services decreased to 35.9% in 2008 compared to 37.3% in 2007.

increased $3.6 million, or 2.7%, to $138.8 million from $135.2 million in 2007. The increase in cost of services included $10.0 million in costs associated with services provided from the acquisition of Omnium. As a percentage of this segments
revenue, Receivables Management cost of services increased to 69.4% in 2008 compared to 47.7% for the comparable period in 2007. The increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenue for 2008 was the result of the $76.4 million portfolio
receivable impairment charge recorded as a reduction of revenue. Also, purchases of new receivable portfolios were down significantly from 2007, resulting in a greater proportion of 2008 collection activity from older receivable portfolios which
have a higher cost of collection.

Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses:
SG&A expenses in 2008 increased $41.1 million, or 4.9%, to $881.6 million from $840.5 million for 2007. The 2008 expenses included $102.1 million resulting from the acquisitions of WNG, TeleVox,
Omnium, HBF, Genesys and Positron. In 2008, in accordance with EITF 97-14 (Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where Amounts Earned Are Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested), (EITF 97-14) we recorded a $4.9 million reduction
in SG&A with the corresponding increase to other income and expense. EITF 97-14 requires that the deferred compensation obligation be classified as a liability and adjusted with the corresponding charge (or credit) to compensation cost, to
reflect changes in the fair value of the amount owed to employees.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, management determined that a final settlement to resolve the
Sanford
and
Ritt
class actions was probable. See note 15 of the notes to consolidated
financial statements elsewhere in this prospectus for information regarding this litigation. As a result of the settlement negotiations, the Communication Services segment recorded a $20.0 million expense accrual and a $5.0 million receivable for
expected insurance proceeds. At December 31, 2008 this expense accrual was $19.3 million. The insurance proceeds were received during 2008. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses decreased to 39.2% in 2008, compared to 40.0% in 2007.

Communication Services SG&A expenses in 2008 decreased $37.3 million, or 8.0%, to $431.4 million from $468.7 million in 2007. This reduction of SG&A was partially due to $19.4 million in lower
depreciation and amortization charges. In 2007, we recorded an $8.8 million impairment charge to fully impair the goodwill associated with a majority-owned unrestricted subsidiary in the communication services segment. The acquisitions of WNG,
TeleVox, HBF and Positron increased SG&A expense by $9.0 million. As a percentage of this segments revenue, Communication Services SG&A expenses decreased to 38.6% in 2008 compared to 42.8% in 2007.

Conferencing Services SG&A expenses in 2008 increased $79.4
million, or 28.9%, to $354.4 million from $275.0 million in 2007. SG&A included $77.9 million from the acquisition of Genesys, $18.5 million of which was for the amortization of finite lived intangible assets. As a percentage of this
segments revenue, Conferencing Services SG&A expenses in 2008 was unchanged from 2007 at 37.8%.

Receivables Management SG&A expenses in 2008 increased $1.7 million, or 1.7%, to $99.8 million from $98.1 million in 2007. As a
percentage of this segments revenue, Receivables Management SG&A increased to 49.9% in 2008 compared to 34.6% in 2007. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenue was primarily the result of the $76.4 million portfolio receivable
impairment charge as a reduction to revenue.

Operating Income:
Operating income in 2008 increased by $4.3 million, or 1.2%, to $350.8 million from $346.6 million in 2007. As a percentage of revenue, operating income decreased to 15.6% in 2008, compared to 16.5% in 2007.

Communication Services operating income in 2008 increased by $28.0 million, or 24.4%, to $142.7 million from $114.7 million in 2007. As a percentage of this segments revenue, Communication Services operating income increased to 12.8%
in 2008, compared to 10.5% in 2007.

Conferencing Services operating income in 2008 increased by $65.0 million, or 35.8%, to
$246.7 million. The increase in operating income included $26.7 million from the acquisition of Genesys. As a percentage of this segments revenue, Conferencing Services operating income increased to 26.3% in 2008, compared to 25.0% in 2007.

Receivables Management operating loss in 2008 was
$38.6 million compared to $50.1 million operating income in 2007. The $88.8 million decrease in operating income was due primarily to the impairment charge of $76.4 million recorded to establish a valuation allowance against the carrying value of
portfolio receivables. As a percentage of this segments revenue, Receivables Management operating income decreased to (19.3%) in 2008, compared to 17.7% in 2007.

Other Income (Expense):
Other income (expense) includes interest expense from short-term and
long-term borrowings under credit facilities and portfolio notes payable, the aggregate gain (loss) on debt transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, sub-lease rental income and interest income from short-term
investments. Other expense in 2008 was $321.6 million, compared to $319.0 million in 2007. Interest expense in 2008 was $313.0 million, compared to $332.4 million in 2007. The change in interest expense was primarily due to lower effective interest
rates, partially offset by increased outstanding debt, in 2008 than we experienced during 2007. Interest expense in 2008 also included $17.7 million for interest rate swaps that were determined to be ineffective and therefore did not qualify for
hedge accounting treatment. In 2008 we recorded a $5.8 million loss on the Euro-denominated multi currency revolver as the Euro strengthened against the British Pound Sterling, the functional currency of InterCalls United Kingdom
subsidiary. In 2008, in accordance with EITF 97-14 we recorded a $4.9 million reduction in the value of the Rabbi Trust assets with the corresponding increase to other expense.

Noncontrolling Interest (Income):
We had noncontrolling interest income in 2008 of ($2.1) million
compared to noncontrolling interest expense of $15.4 million in 2007. The portfolio receivable impairment recorded in 2008 caused a $13.0 million reduction in minority interest expense.

Net IncomeWest Corporation:
Our net income in 2008 improved $14.1 million, or 262.4%, to
$19.5 million from $5.4 million in 2007. The increase in net income was due to the factors discussed above for revenue, cost of services, SG&A expense and other income (expense). Net income includes a provision for income tax expense at an
effective rate (income tax expense divided by income before income tax and noncontrolling interest) of approximately 40.2% for 2008, compared to an effective tax rate of approximately 24.7% in 2007. The difference between the effective tax rate
during 2007 and the statutory tax rate is primarily due to higher noncontrolling interest pretax income as a percentage of total pretax income and the release of valuation allowances related to losses sustained by an unconsolidated equity investment
(for tax purposes), which became deductible for tax purposes upon disposal of the majority owned subsidiary.

Earnings (Loss) per common share:
Earnings per common L sharebasic for 2008 improved $1.70 to $12.78 from $11.08 compared
to 2007. Earnings per common L sharediluted for 2008 improved $1.56 to $12.24 from $10.68 compared to 2007. The improvement in earnings per share was primarily the result of increased net income attributable to L shareholders. Loss per common
A sharebasic and diluted for 2008 increased ($0.3) to ($1.23) from ($1.20) for 2007. The increase in (loss) per share was primarily the result of a decrease in net income attributable to the Class A shareholders.

Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

Revenue:
Total revenue in 2007 increased
$243.5 million, or 13.1%, to $2,099.5 million from $1,856.0 million in 2006. $164.2 million of this increase was derived from acquisitions that closed during 2006 and 2007.

During 2007 and 2006, revenue from our 100 largest clients included $13.6 million and $15.0 million,
respectively, of revenue derived from new clients.

During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, our largest 100 clients represented
approximately 57% and 61% of revenue, respectively. This reduced concentration was due to our strategic acquisitions in 2007 and 2006 and to organic growth. Late in 2006, AT&T, Cingular, SBC and Bell South were merged. The aggregate revenue
provided by these clients as a percentage of our total revenue in 2007 and 2006 was approximately 14% and 17%, respectively. No other client accounted for more than 10% of our total 2007 or 2006 revenue.

Communication Services revenue in 2007 increased $74.1 million, or 7.3%, to $1,094.4 million from $1,020.2 million in 2006. The increase included $96.3 million of revenue due to the acquisitions of Intrado, InPulse, WNG and TeleVox. Our
inbound dedicated agent business declined $43.7 million during 2007 compared to 2006, due to a reduction in services for AT&T and a reduction in non-recurring programs. Business-to-Business Services increased $24.8 million due to increased
volume.

Conferencing Services revenue in 2007
increased $120.3 million, or 19.8%, to $727.8 million from $234.5 million in 2006. The increase in revenue included $19.4 million from the acquisition of Raindance. The remaining $100.9 million increase was attributable to organic growth. Since
we entered the conferencing services business, the average rate per minute that we charge has declined while total minutes sold has increased. This is consistent with the industry trend, which is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

Receivables Management revenue in 2007 increased
$48.9 million, or 20.9%, to $283.4 million from $234.5 million in 2006. The increase in revenue included $48.5 million from the acquisition of Omnium on May 1, 2007. During the fourth quarter of 2007, we recorded a $2.5 million allowance for
receivable portfolio pools that had recently underperformed expectations. No allowance was taken in 2006. Sales of receivables portfolios in 2007 and 2006 resulted in revenue of $10.8 million and $19.9 million, respectively.

Cost of Services:
Cost of services represents
direct labor, variable telephone expense, commissions and other costs directly related to providing services to clients. Cost of services in 2007 increased $93.9 million, or 11.5%, to $912.4 million from $818.5 million in 2006. The increase in cost
of services included $51.2 million in costs associated with services offered resulting from the acquisitions of Intrado, Raindance, InPulse, WNG, TeleVox and Omnium. As a percentage of revenue, cost of services decreased to 43.5% for 2007, compared
to 44.1% in 2006.

Communication Services cost of services in 2007 increased $22.0 million, or 4.5%, to $510.9 million from $488.9 million in 2006. The increase in cost of services reflected $28.4 million in costs
associated with services offered resulting from the acquisitions of Intrado, InPulse, WNG and TeleVox. As a percentage of this segments revenue, Communication Services cost of services decreased to 46.7% in 2007, compared to 47.9% in 2006. The
decrease as a percentage of revenue in 2007 was due to the acquisition of Intrado, which historically had a lower percentage of direct costs to revenue than our Communication Services segment results.

Conferencing Services cost of services in 2007 increased $60.3
million, or 28.6%, to $271.2 million from $210.9 million in 2006. The increase in cost of services included $5.1 million in costs associated with services offered resulting from the acquisition of Raindance. The remaining increase is primarily
driven by increased revenue volume. As a percentage of this segments revenue, Conferencing Services cost of services increased to 37.3% in 2007, compared to 34.7% in 2006. The increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenue is
primarily due to downward pricing pressure on the revenue rate per minute, increased foreign sales which have higher costs of sales and increased video equipment sales which has lower margins than other conferencing services.

Receivables Management cost of services in 2007 increased $11.2
million, or 9.0%, to $135.2 million from $124.0 million in 2006. The increase in cost of services included $17.7 million in cost of services from the acquisition of Omnium. As a percentage of this segments revenue, Receivables Management cost
of services decreased to 47.7% in 2007, compared to 52.9% for the comparable period in 2006. This decrease as a percentage of revenue is partially due to the acquisition of Omnium, which has a lower cost of services as a percentage of revenue than
our historical receivables management segment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:
SG&A expenses in 2007 increased $40.2 million, or 5.0%, to $840.5 million from $800.3 million for 2006. The increase included $106.8 million of additional SG&A expense
resulting from the acquisitions of Intrado, Raindance, InPulse, WNG, TeleVox and Omnium. Total share based compensation expense (SBC) recognized during 2007 was $1.3 million compared to $28.7 million in 2006. This reduction in share
based compensation was the result of our recapitalization on October 24, 2006. On that date, the vesting of all outstanding equity and stock options awards were accelerated and such awards were exchanged for a cash payment. The stock
compensation expense recognized in 2007 results from grants made under the 2006 Executive Incentive Plan. In 2006, we also recognized $78.8 million in expenses associated with our recapitalization. During the fourth quarter of 2007, management
determined that a final settlement which will resolve the
Sanford
and
Ritt
class actions is probable. See note 15 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for information regarding
this litigation. As a result of the settlement negotiations, the Communication Services segment recorded a $15.0 million accrual, net of $5.0 million of expected insurance proceeds. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses decreased to 40.0% in
2007, compared to 43.1% in 2006.

As set forth below for 2006, base selling, general and administrative expense by business
segment excludes recapitalization expense and SBC and is a non-GAAP measure. We refer to the generally accepted accounting principles as GAAP. Management believes these measures provide an alternative presentation of results that more
accurately reflects on-going operations without the non-cash effects of the recapitalization expense and SBC items. The following table includes reconciliations for 2006 selling, general and administrative expense by business segment excluding the
recapitalization expense and SBC to reported selling, general and administrative expense.

Communication Services operating income in 2007 increased by $25.7 million, or 28.8%, to $114.8 million from $89.1 million in 2006. The increase in operating income was due primarily to recapitalization expenses and SBC in 2006, as
previously discussed. This increase in operating income was partially offset by the previously discussed net $15.0 million litigation accrual. As a percentage of this segments revenue, Communication Services operating income increased to 10.5%
in 2007, compared to 8.7% in 2006. Operating income before recapitalization expense and SBC was $142.5 million, or 14.0%, of this segments revenue in 2006.

Conferencing Services operating income in 2007 increased by $62.2 million, or 52.1%, to $181.7 million from
$119.4 million in 2006. The increase in operating income included $6.9 million from the acquisition of Raindance. As a percentage of this segments revenue, Conferencing Services operating income increased to 25.0% in 2007, compared to 19.7% in
2006. Operating income before recapitalization expense and SBC was $160.3 million, or 26.4%, of this segments revenue in 2006.

Receivables Management operating income in 2007 increased by $21.4 million, or 74.6%, to $50.1 million from $28.7 million in 2006. The
increase in operating income was due primarily to recapitalization expenses and SBC in 2006, previously discussed. As a percentage of this segments revenue, Receivables Management operating income increased to 17.7% in 2007, compared to 12.2%
in 2006. Operating income before recapitalization expense and SBC was $42.0 million, or 17.9%, of this segments revenue in 2006.

Other Income (Expense)
:
Other income (expense) includes sub-lease rental income, interest income from short-term
investments and interest expense from short-term and long-term borrowings under credit facilities and portfolio notes payable. Other expense in 2007 was $319.0 million compared to $86.7 million in 2006. The change in other expense in 2007 was
primarily due to interest expense on increased outstanding debt incurred in connection with our recapitalization and higher interest rates in 2007 than we experienced in 2006. Interest expense in 2007 was $332.4 million compared to $94.8 million in
2006.

Noncontrolling Interest:
Our
portfolio receivable lenders own a noncontrolling interest in several portfolio purchasing subsidiaries. The noncontrolling interest in the earnings of these subsidiaries in 2007 was $15.4 million compared to $16.3 million for 2006.

Net IncomeWest Corporation:
Our net income in 2007 decreased $63.4
million, or 92.2%, to $5.4 million from $68.8 million in 2006. The decrease in net income was due to the factors discussed above for revenue, cost of services, SG&A expense and other income (expense). Net income includes a provision for
income tax expense at an effective rate of approximately 24.7% for 2007 compared to 43.5% in 2006. The difference between the effective tax rate during 2007 and the statutory tax rate is primarily due to higher minority interest pretax income as a
percentage of total pretax income and the release of valuation allowances related to losses sustained by an unconsolidated equity investment (for tax purposes) which became deductible for tax purposes upon disposal of the majority owned subsidiary.
The 2006 effective income tax rate was impacted by approximately $40.0 million of recapitalization transaction costs which we expect to be non-deductible for income tax purposes.

Earnings (Loss) per common share:
Earnings per common L sharebasic for 2007 improved $9.03
to $11.08 from $2.05 compared to 2006. Earnings per common L sharediluted for 2007 improved $8.70 to $10.68 from $1.98 compared to 2006. The improvement in earnings per share was primarily the result of a full year of net income attributable
to L shareholders in 2007 compared to the partial period in 2006 subsequent to the recapitalization. Loss per common A sharebasic for 2007 increased ($1.86) to ($1.20) from $0.66 for 2006. Loss per common A sharediluted for 2007
increased ($1.84) to ($1.20) from $0.64 for 2006. The increase in (loss) per share basic and diluted was primarily the result of a increase in net loss attributable to the Class A shareholders.

The increase in cost of services for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included $25.0 million from the acquisition of Genesys. As a percentage of revenue, Unified Communications cost of services improved to 36.4% for the six months ended
June 30, 2009, compared to 36.7% for the comparable period in 2008.

Communication Services costs of services for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $3.3 million, or 1.0%, to $333.7 million from $337.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The
decrease in cost of services for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included $32.6 million from the acquisitions of HBF and Positron. As a percentage of revenue, Communication Services cost of services improved to 51.4% for the six months ended
June 30, 2009, compared to 53.7% for the comparable period in 2008. The improvement in cost of services as a percentage of revenue was primarily the result of the decrease in revenue resulting from the $44.1 million portfolio receivable
impairment charge recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2008. No impairment charge was taken during the six months ended June 30, 2009. This reduction in the percentage of cost of services to revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 was primarily due to improved labor efficiencies and utilization.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (
SG&A):
SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased by $34.1 million, or 8.0%, to $459.3
million from $425.2 million for the comparable period of 2008. This increase included $41.8 million from acquisitions. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses improved to 37.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 39.5% for
the comparable period of 2008. The improvement in SG&A as a percentage of revenue was primarily the result of a decrease in revenue relating to the $44.1 million portfolio receivable impairment charge recorded in the comparable period in 2008.

Unified Communications SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $28.9 million, or 16.6%, to $203.3 million from $174.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The
increase in SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2009, included $30.8 million from the acquisition of Genesys. As a percentage of revenue, Unified Communications SG&A expenses improved to 35.9% for the six months ended June 30,
2009 compared to 38.6% for the comparable period of 2008. The Unified Communications segment has effectively reduced SG&A expenses through realized synergies from acquisitions.

Communication Services SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $4.5 million, or
1.8%, to $257.0 million from $252.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included $11.1 million from the acquisition of Positron and HBF and $2.7 million
in additional litigation settlement expenses. As a percentage of revenue, Communication Services SG&A expenses improved to 39.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 40.2% for the comparable period of 2008. The improvement in
SG&A expenses as a percentage of this segments revenue was primarily the result of a decrease in revenue relating to the $44.1 million portfolio receivable impairment charge recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Operating income:

Unified
Communications operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $45.3 million, or 40.4%, to $157.3 million from $112.0 million for the comparable period in 2008. The increase in operating income for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 included operating income of $39.3 million from the acquisition of Genesys. As a percentage of revenue, Unified Communications operating income improved to 27.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 24.8% for
the comparable period in 2008.

Communication Services operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2009
increased $20.6 million, or 54.0%, to $58.9 million from $38.2 million for the comparable period of 2008. The increase in operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included an operating loss of $3.5 million from the acquisitions
of HBF and Positron. As a percentage of revenue, Communication Services operating income as a percentage of revenue improved to 9.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 6.1% for the corresponding period in 2008 due to the
factors discussed above for revenue, cost of services and SG&A expenses. The increase in operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily the result of the impairment charges of $44.1 million recorded in the six months
ended June 30, 2008. No impairment charge was taken during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Other income (expense):
Other income (expense) includes interest expense from short-term and long-term borrowings under credit
facilities and portfolio notes payable, interest income from short-term investments and sub-lease rental income. Other income (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was ($122.0) million compared to ($143.4) million for the comparable
period in 2008. The change in interest expense was primarily due to lower effective interest rates partially offset by increased outstanding debt in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period last year. Interest expense
during the six months ended June 30, 2009 also included a reduction of $2.7 million for the decline in the fair value liability of the interest rate swap hedges which were determined to be ineffective and therefore did not qualify for hedge
accounting treatment. No such ineffectiveness was experienced during the comparable period in 2008. Interest expense was further reduced during the six months ended June 30, 2009 by $3.7 million for hedges that did not qualify for hedge
accounting treatment. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized $4.1 million of foreign currency gain on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.

Noncontrolling interest:
We had noncontrolling
interest (formerly minority interest) expense of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to noncontrolling interest income of $3.7 million in the comparable 2008 period. The portfolio receivable impairment recorded during
the six months ended June 30, 2008 caused a $9.8 million reduction in noncontrolling interest expense.

Net incomeWest Corporation:
Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased by $50.5 million, or
774.5%, to $57.1 million from net income of $6.5 million for the comparable period in 2008. Net income includes a provision for income tax expense at an effective rate of approximately 37.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to
an effective tax rate of approximately 58.6% for the same period in 2008. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 is primarily due to an increase in noncontrolling interest expense as a percentage of net
income before taxes.

Earnings (Loss) per
common share:
Earnings per common L sharebasic for the six months ended June 30, 2009 improved $0.85 to $7.38 from $6.53 for the comparable period in 2008. Earnings per common L sharediluted for the six months ended June 30,
2009 improved $0.82 to $7.08 from $6.26 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Loss per common A sharebasic and diluted for the six months ended June 30, 2009 improved $0.48 to ($0.19) from ($0.67) for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
The improvement in earnings (loss) per share was primarily the result of increased net income for both Class L and Class A shareholders.

Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

Revenue:
Total revenue in 2008 increased $147.9 million, or 7.0%, to $2,247.4 million from $2,099.5 million in 2007. This
increase included $190.3 million from the acquisitions of WNG, TeleVox, Omnium, HBF, Genesys and Positron, offset by the $76.4 million impairment to establish a valuation allowance against the carrying value of portfolio receivables. These
acquisitions closed on February 1, 2007, March 1, 2007, May 4, 2007, April 1, 2008, May 22, 2008 and November 21, 2008, respectively. In accordance with paragraph 48 of SFAS No. 141

Business Combinations
, an accounting date of May 1, 2007 was used for the Omnium acquisition.

During 2008 and 2007, revenue from our 100 largest clients included $23.0 million and $13.6
million, respectively, of revenue derived from new clients. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, our largest 100 clients represented approximately 56% and 57% of revenue, respectively. The aggregate revenue provided by our largest
client, AT&T, as a percentage of our total revenue in 2008 and 2007 was approximately 13% and 14%, respectively. No other client accounted for more than 10% of our total 2008 or 2007 revenue.

Unified
Communications revenue in 2008 increased $231.1 million, or 30.2%, to $995.2 million from $764.1 million in 2007. The increase in revenue included $150.6 million from the acquisitions of WNG, TeleVox and Genesys. The remaining $80.5 million increase
was attributable to organic growth. Since we entered the conferencing services business, the average rate per minute that we charge has declined while total minutes sold has increased. This is consistent with the industry trend which is expected to
continue for the foreseeable future.

Communication Services revenue in 2008 decreased $83.5 million, or 6.2%, to $1,258.2 million from $1,341.7 million in 2007. The decrease is primarily attributable to the $76.4 million impairment to establish a valuation allowance against
the carrying value of portfolio receivables. The valuation allowance was calculated in accordance with SOP 03-3, which requires that a valuation allowance be taken for decreases in expected cash flows or a change in timing of cash flows which would
otherwise require a reduction in the stated yield on a portfolio pool. During 2007, we recorded a similar $2.5 million impairment charge. Partially offsetting the decrease in revenue was an increase in revenue from the acquisitions of Omnium, HBF
and Positron, which collectively accounted for $39.7 million of revenue. During 2008, our ability to purchase charged-off receivable portfolios on acceptable terms and in sufficient amounts was significantly reduced because of the economic downturn.
Purchases of portfolio receivables were $45.4 million during 2008, which was $82.0 million less than during 2007. As a result of this lower purchase activity, our ability to collect and recognize revenue has been adversely affected.

Cost of Services:
Cost of services in 2008
increased $102.6 million, or 11.2%, to $1,015.0 million from $912.4 million in 2007. The increase in cost of services included $60.6 million in costs associated with services offered resulting from the acquisitions of WNG, TeleVox, Omnium, HBF,
Genesys and Positron. As a percentage of revenue, cost of services increased to 45.2% for 2008, compared to 43.5% in 2007.

Unified Communications cost of services in 2008 increased $71.2 million, or 25.4%, to $351.4
million from $280.2 million in 2007. The increase in cost of services included $40.6 million in costs associated with services offered resulting from the acquisitions of WNG, TeleVox and Genesys. The remaining increase is primarily driven by
increased revenue volume. As a percentage of this segments revenue, Unified Communications cost of services decreased to 35.3% in 2008 compared to 36.7% in 2007.

Communication Services cost of services in 2008 increased $28.3 million, or 4.4%, to $665.6 million from $637.3 million in
2007. The increase in cost of services reflected $20.0 million in costs from the acquisitions of Omnium, HBF and Positron. As a percentage of this segments revenue, Communication Services cost of services increased to 52.9% in 2008, compared
to 47.5% in 2007. The increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenue for 2008 was driven by the $76.4 million portfolio receivable impairment charge recorded as a reduction of revenue. Also, purchases of new receivable portfolios were down
significantly from 2007 resulting in a greater proportion of 2008 collection activity from older receivable portfolios which have a higher cost of collection. Rising labor and benefit costs also contributed to the increase in our cost of sales
percentage in 2008.

Selling, General and
Administrative Expenses:
SG&A expenses in 2008 increased $41.1 million, or 4.9%, to $881.6 million from $840.5 million for 2007. The increase included $102.1 million resulting from the acquisitions of WNG, TeleVox, Omnium, HBF, Genesys
and Positron. In 2008, in accordance with EITF 97-14 (Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where Amounts Earned Are Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested), (EITF 97-14) we recorded a $4.9 million reduction in SG&A with the
corresponding increase to other income and expense. EITF 97-14 requires that the deferred compensation obligation be classified as a liability and adjusted with the corresponding charge (or credit) to compensation cost, to reflect changes in the
fair value of the amount owed to employees.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, management determined that a final settlement to resolve the
Sanford
and
Ritt
class actions was probable. See note 15 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere
in this prospectus for information regarding this litigation. As a result of the settlement negotiations, the Communication Services segment recorded a $20.0 million expense accrual and a $5.0 million receivable for expected insurance proceeds. At
December 31, 2008 this expense accrual was $19.3 million. The insurance proceeds were received during 2008. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses decreased to 39.2% in 2008, compared to 40.0% in 2007.

Communication Services SG&A expenses in 2008 decreased $38.1
million, or 7.1%, to $498.6 million from $536.8 million in 2007. This reduction of SG&A was partially due to $19.4 million in lower depreciation and amortization charges. In 2007 we recorded an $8.8 million impairment charge to fully impair the
goodwill

associated with a majority-owned unrestricted subsidiary in the communication services segment. The acquisitions of Omnium, HBF and Positron increased SG&A expense by $19.8 million. As a
